Late on Tuesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai addressed the controversies surrounding its Gemini AI app in an email to staff, following a series of 'completely unacceptable' errors that sparked significant backlash, including right-wing criticism. The AI app faced criticism for generating inappropriate content, such as images of ethnically diverse World War II Nazi troops, leading to the temporary suspension of its image generation feature. This controversy, which also highlighted the AI's bias against people of color, has resulted in a notable financial impact, with Alphabet Inc.'s market value dropping by $110 billion. Pichai's response indicates a commitment to addressing these biases and restoring user trust in Google's AI technologies.
