Google boss Pichai calls history-distorting AI images "completely unacceptable"
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has addressed concerns internally about the company's AI app Gemini (formerly Bard), which recently came under heavy criticism for historically distorted AI images. In a company-wide memo, Pichai acknowledged the problems and assured employees that Google is working to fix them. "To be clear, that's completely unacceptable and we got it wrong." He outlined a series of actions, including structural changes, updated product policies, improved launch processes, and technical recommendations. Significant progress has already been made on some prompts, Pichai noted. The AI imaging system is set to be back online in a few weeks.
