Google Pauses Gemini’s Image Generator After It Was Accused of Being Racist Against White People



Google is pausing the ability of its AI chatbot Gemini to generate images of people after a slew of historically inaccurate and racially diverse creations, such as images of Black Nazi soldiers and a Black medieval British king, went viral and led some to say the company was racist against white people.

“We’re already working to address recent issues with Gemini’s image generation feature,” Google said in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday morning. “While we do this, we’re going to pause the image generation of people and will re-release an improved version soon.”

The company initially addressed the controversy, which caused wide outrage among the anti-woke crowd, on Wednesday and said it was taking immediate action to fix the issues. In a statement, Google said that while Gemini’s ability to generate diverse images of people was “generally a good thing,” a nod to the challenges AI image generators have had at creating images of people of color, Gemini was “missing the mark here.”
