Google apologises after Gemini AI generates images of Nazis as people of colour

  • Google has paused its Gemini AI tool’s ability to generate images of people.
  • The pause and subsequent apology came after the tool was found to be generating historically inaccurate illustrations, including depictions of Nazi soldiers as people of colour.
  • A number of different prompts led to the bot responding with historical inaccuracies.
  • Google is working to address these issues and plans to re-release an improved version soon.
  • The company takes representation and bias seriously and designs its image generation capabilities to reflect its global user base.
  • However, it acknowledges that historical contexts have more nuance and will further tune the tool to accommodate that.
