He said that what happened was \u201ccompletely unacceptable\u201d and that the company is working on a fix. \u201cOur teams have been working around the clock to address these issues. We\u2019re already seeing a substantial improvement on a wide range of prompts,\u201d Pichai wrote in a memo that was shared by Semafor.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s AI chatbot Gemini has been knee deep in controversy. It started with the chatbot making a mess of generating inaccurate historic images, like depicting the Pope as a woman, Vikings as Black people, followed by a viral query with Gemini where the LLM failed to definitely answer whether Elon Musk posting memes or Adolf Hitler is worse.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to address the recent issues with problematic text and image responses in the Gemini app (formerly Bard). I know that some of its responses have offended our users and shown bias \u2013 to be clear, that\u2019s completely unacceptable and we got it wrong,\u201d Pichai said in his memo addressing the company employees.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, Pichai also defended Gemini, saying \u201cno AI is perfect\u201d. \u201cNo AI is perfect, especially at this emerging stage of the industry\u2019s development, but we know the bar is high for us, and we will keep at it for however long it takes. And we\u2019ll review what happened and make sure we fix it at scale,\u201d an excerpt from the memo reads.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pichai promised several actions will be taken to fix the issue, including making changes to how things are structured within the company, updating guidelines for products, making sure launches are better, testing things more thoroughly, and recommending changes to their technology. \u201cWe are looking across all of this and will make the necessary changes,\u201d Pichai added.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur mission to organize the world\u2019s information and make it universally accessible and useful is sacrosanct. We\u2019ve always sought to give users helpful, accurate, and unbiased information in our products. That\u2019s why people trust them. This has to be our approach for all our products, including our emerging AI products,\u201d said Pichai in the memo.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While Pichai is right that no AI is perfect, the issue here isn\u2019t the inaccuracy per se, but that Google prematurely rolled out its LLM when there was still some fine-tuning needed. As Pichai also acknowledged, the company needs to more thoroughly test its products before releasing them to the public.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] \u00a0 New York: Days after Gemini was caught in a controversy for its problematic text and image responses, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has addressed the problem and acknowledged that the company \u201cgot it wrong\u201d.
