Recently, Google's artificial intelligence (AI) model Gemini has attracted widespread attention due to problems in the image of raw objects. According to user feedback, most of the models are presented as non-white images when creating ** images, which has sparked controversy about the "anti-white" issue. In response, Prabhakar Raghavan, Google's senior vice president, publicly apologized on the 23rd and promised to take steps to improve the technology.
According to the Associated Press, Gemini, as an AI model with the ability to generate images based on text, has been welcomed by a large number of users since its launch. Users can write simple text prompts and have Gemini create a variety of images in seconds, including a dog riding a surfboard, a flying car, and more. However, some users have found problems when using the model's biometric images. They found that no matter what kind of text prompts were entered, most of the images of people generated by Gemini were of color, not white.
This issue has sparked strong reactions and controversy among users. Some users believe that Gemini has an "anti-white" problem in the process of generating images, which is suspected of racial discrimination. They believe that as an AI model that is widely used around the world, Gemini should be able to generate people of all skin tones, not just people of color.
In response to user feedback and controversy, Prabhakar Raghaván, senior vice president of Google, issued an apology statement on Google's blog on the 23rd. He admits that Gemini did have problems with the raw image of the animal and failed to achieve the desired results. He said that he was very sorry that some of the images generated were inaccurate and even unpleasant.
Ragawan explained that when Google set up Gemini's feature, it had tweaked it to make sure it didn't fall into some of the pitfalls seen in image generation technology in the past, such as generating violent or explicit images. However, they failed to foresee the problem of skin color bias in the image of the raw **. He stressed that Google's users come from all over the world, and they want Gemini to serve everyone well.
In response to this problem, Google has taken the approach of asking Gemini to temporarily stop running the bio image function. Ragawan said the company is working hard to address the issue and promised to roll out an improved version as soon as possible. He said Google will continue to improve its technology to ensure that AI models can take into account a variety of skin tones and cultural backgrounds when generating images to meet the needs of users around the world.
Some users expressed understanding and support for Google's response and commitment. They believe that Google, as a leading global technology company, has a responsibility and obligation to address this issue and ensure that AI technology is fair and inclusive. At the same time, they also expect Google to launch an improved version as soon as possible, so that more people can enjoy the convenience and fun brought by AI technology.
However, there are also users who have taken Google's response with reservations. They argue that although Google has apologized and promised to improve the technology, the root of the problem lies in the algorithms and datasets of the AI model. Unless Google can fundamentally solve the problem of algorithms and datasets, similar problems are still likely to recur.
The incident has also raised concerns about the ethics and fairness of AI technology. Some experts point out that AI technology can be influenced by training data when generating images, leading to problems such as skin color bias. Therefore, when developing and using AI technologies, more attention needs to be paid to their ethics and fairness, ensuring that the technology benefits all people and does not cause discrimination and prejudice.
In conclusion, Prabhakar Ragavan, Google's senior vice president, apologized for the problems with the AI model Gemini when it came to creating images of creatures, and promised to take steps to improve the technology. This incident has raised concerns about the ethics and fairness of AI technology, and also reminded us to be more careful and responsible when developing and using AI technology.
