Google apologised Feb 23 for its faulty rollout of a new artificial intelligence image-generator, acknowledging that in some cases the tool would “overcompensate” in seeking a diverse range of people even when such a range didn’t make sense. The Associated Press was not able to independently verify what prompts were used to generate those images. Google added the new image-generating feature to its Gemini chatbot, formerly known as Bard, about three weeks ago. Musk, who has his own AI startup, has frequently criticised rival AI developers as well as Hollywood for alleged liberal bias. Raghavan said Google will do “extensive testing” before turning on the chatbot’s ability to show people again.
