Google apologizes for AI image-generator overcompensating diversity

Google apologized Friday for its faulty rollout of a new artificial intelligence image-generator, acknowledging that in some cases the tool would “overcompensate” in seeking a diverse range of people even when such a range didn’t make sense.

The partial explanation for why its images put people of color in historical settings where they wouldn’t normally be found came a day after Google said it was temporarily stopping its Gemini chatbot from generating any images with people in them. That was in response to a social media outcry from some users claiming the tool had an anti-white bias in the way it generated a racially diverse set of images in response to written prompts.

Figure AI has attracted significant interest from the tech industry, with investments from major players like Microsoft, which is contributing $95 million, and Nvidia, along with an Amazon-affiliated fund, each investing $50 million. Bezos has committed to $100 million via Explore Investments, LLC.
