Google CEO Pledged To Use AI To Counter "Fake News", Racism, & Populism After Trump Victory

Google CEO Sundar Pichai today addressed public upset with its AI chatbot, Gemini, for its political bias.

“I want to address the recent issues with problematic text and image responses in the Gemini app (formerly Bard),” he wrote.

“I know that some of its responses have offended our users and shown bias – to be clear, that’s completely unacceptable and we got it wrong.”

But Google’s bias has been on public display since August 2017, when Pichai fired a Google employee named James Damore for writing a ten-page memo criticizing the company's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, particularly its “Bias-Busting” training.

And the partisan bias of Google was expressed a few days after voters elected Donald Trump as president during an “all hands” employee meeting.

“It’s been an extraordinarily stressful time for many of you,” Pichai said to Google employees.

“I certainly find this election deeply offensive,” said Google cofounder Sergey Brin, “and I know many of you do too.”
