New Delhi: Elon Musk, who is always in the headlines for his words, has been making continuous comments about Google AI for the last few days. Continuing this trend, Elon Musk, owner of companies like SpaceX and Tesla, has targeted Google's chatbot Gemini, accusing AI of showing bias and flaws in its creators.
In a recent tweet, Musk criticized Google's AI efforts, suggesting that the technology's flaws were evident in creating Gemini's biased and unreliable data and images.
He also said that the sheer insanity of Google's original reaction to AI is astonishing! They will fix it to be less obvious in the future, but the bias will still be there, the AI will reflect the mistakes of its creators.
Honesty in AI development
In another post, Musk also accused Google and Facebook of political bias, saying that Google and Facebook/Instagram have a strong political bias. Musk expressed his concern about the potential consequences of AI for the world. Along with this, he stressed the importance of honesty and search for truth in the development of AI.
Gemini was criticized after Google decided to block the chatbot's image creation tool amid allegations of racism.
Many allegations against Google
The chatbot faced criticism for being 'too conscious' and being 'racist', after which Google CEO Sundar Pichai acknowledged the issue and said that the company got it wrong.
Minister of State for Skill Development Rajeev Chandrashekhar also stressed on the matter and highlighted the legal consequences associated with platforms providing or presenting illegal content.
Minister Chandrashekhar tweeted that no platform gives complete protection or free hand to illegal content. Platforms that provide or directly describe illegal content face legal consequences under existing laws (both criminal and technical law).
Google apologized
The controversy has led to increased scrutiny of Google's AI products, leading to the government issuing a notice alleging bias in questions related to Prime Minister Modi.
While Google apologized for Gemini's unreliable results, it claimed to be working quickly to fix the problem.
The tech giant's struggles in the AI sector have been compounded by setbacks in product rollouts, with Google's parent company Alphabet facing a market value loss of more than US$100 billion in February 2023 due to errors in its Gemini chatbot ads . Competition with OpenAI has increased pressure on Google to provide stronger AI solutions.
