"Google Halts Gemini AI Image Generation Over Accuracy and Ethnicity Concerns"

Google has paused its Gemini artificial intelligence image generation feature after receiving complaints about inaccuracies in historical pictures, particularly in depicting historical figures as people of color. The tech giant acknowledged the issue and stated that it is working to improve the depictions. The Gemini tool, formerly known as Bard, faced challenges as it attempted to catch up with Microsoft-backed OpenAI. Google's senior director of product for Gemini emphasized the company's commitment to addressing representation and bias in image generation, especially in historical contexts.
