Google to pause Gemini image generation after AI refuses to show images of White people

Google will pause the image generation feature of its artificial intelligence (AI) tool, Gemini, after the model refused to create images of White people, Reuters reported. 

The Alphabet-owned company apologized Wednesday after users on social media flagged that Gemini's image generator was creating inaccurate historical images that sometimes replaced White people with images of Black, Native American and Asian people. 

"We're aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions," Google had said on Wednesday.
