Google’s Gemini AI undergoes updates and issues an apology for inaccurate and controversial imagery

Google has recently made two updates to its artificial intelligence (AI) model, Gemini, following the controversy surrounding the inaccurate imagery it produces. The first update allows users of Gemini Advanced to edit and run Python code snippets directly in the user interface, saving time and ensuring functionality. The second update provides users of Gemini business and enterprise plans with access to 1.0 Ultra, one of Google’s most advanced models, and enhances data protection for enterprise use. Previously, concerns were raised by companies like Samsung, who banned the use of ChatGPT-like AI tools on their devices and networks due to training purposes. These updates come after Google rebranded its chatbot from Bard to Gemini, introducing various upgraded features and capabilities. However, the updates did not address the issue of inaccurate image output, which has caused controversy on social media. Google has acknowledged the problem and is working on immediate solutions. Some social media users, including a Google developer, have expressed embarrassment over the inaccuracies produced by Gemini. Similar biases have also been identified in the AI chatbot ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI. Elon Musk has mentioned his own AI model, Grok, which is set to release upgraded versions in the coming weeks. However, Grok has gained attention for sharing a similar name, albeit with a different spelling, to the AI language processing united (LPU) chip Groq, which gained popularity after outperforming other top models by Big Tech companies in benchmark tests.
