Google Pauses Gemini AI Image Generation Over Racial Bias Concerns
Google has decided to pause the image generation feature of its artificial intelligence (AI) tool, Gemini, after it was found to refuse to create images of White people. The decision came after social media users pointed out that Gemini’s image generator was creating inaccurate historical images that sometimes replaced White people with images of Black, Native American, and Asian people.
Gemini’s Functionality and Issues
Gemini, formerly known as Google Bard, is one of many multimodal large language models (LLMs) currently available to the public. The responses offered by these AIs can change from user to user, based on contextual information, the language and tone of the prompter, and training data used to create the AI responses. However, Gemini was criticized on social media for refusing to generate images.
Testing and Findings
Fox News Digital tested Gemini multiple times this week after social media users complained that the model would not show images of White people when prompted1. Each time, it provided similar answers. When the AI was asked to show a picture of a White person, Gemini said it could not fulfill the request because it "reinforces harmful stereotypes and generalizations about people based on their race".
Google’s Response and Future Plans
Google apologized for the inaccuracies and stated that they are aware of the issue. They plan to make adjustments to Gemini and will pause the image generation of people until an improved version is released. Google’s AI principles commit its image generation tools to “reflect our global user base” and they plan to continue doing this for “open-ended” image requests.

AI IMPACT ON HOLLYWOOD
$800M Hollywood Studio Expansion on Hold After Seeing OpenAI’s Sora!!
Tyler Perry, the actor, filmmaker, and studio owner, had been planning an $800 million expansion of his studio in Atlanta, which would have added 12 soundstages to the 330-acre property. However, those plans are now on hold due to the rapid developments in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), including OpenAI’s text-to-video model Sora.
Impact of AI on the Film Industry
Perry expressed his concerns about the impact of AI technology on the film industry. He noted that the advancements in AI could potentially eliminate the need for physical locations or set buildings. This could have a significant impact on various roles in the industry, including actors, grip and electric workers, transportation, sound and editors.
Perry’s Reaction to Sora
Perry was particularly taken aback by the capabilities of OpenAI’s Sora, which debuted on February 15. The AI can generate hyper-realistic videos in response to text prompts, potentially eliminating the need for physical sets or location shooting. Perry described the technology as “mind-blowing” and expressed concern for the potential job losses in the industry.
Call for Industry Regulation
In response to these developments, Perry has called for the industry to come together to tackle AI and implement regulations to protect jobs. He emphasized the need for guardrails to ensure the survival of the industry in the face of rapid technological advancements.
