Sundar Pichai says Gemini’s Goof Up was ‘unacceptable’

Following severe backlash over recent biased responses by Gemini, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai said that Gemini’s inaccurate responses about certain races were completely unacceptable. Pichai further added in the internal memo that Google’s AI engineers are working round the clock to address the issue and they are already seeing great improvement in wide-range of prompts.  This controversy flared up when few days back Gemini showed racial bias among other problematic things over certain prompts. The inaccurate responses immediately became viral on social media as it raised question over Gemini’s efficiency and its ability to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Overall, this is an inauspicious start by Gemini, which was supposed to give Google a good head start in the AI race.
