Alphabet's Google to Relaunch AI Image Feature on Gemini After Scandal

Aug 28, 2024, 05:02 PM

Google, under its parent company Alphabet, is set to relaunch its AI-driven image generation feature on Gemini, which allows users to create images of people, after suspending it earlier this year due to a scandal. The feature, available on the Google Pixel 9 and through its AI models, faced criticism for failing to accurately depict white people. In response, Google paused the service to address these inaccuracies. The company has now announced that the feature will be available again for users who pay for the English-language version of its chatbot. This move comes as part of Google's ongoing efforts to enhance diversity and inclusion in its AI technologies.
