(Reuters) – Google (NASDAQ:) is working to fix its Gemini artificial intelligence tool, CEO Sundar Pichai told employees in a memo on Tuesday, saying some of the text and image responses generated by the model were ” distorted” and “completely unacceptable”.
The company last week suspended use of its tool that creates images of people by following inaccuracies in some historical representations it generates.
Pichai told employees that some of the tool’s responses offended its users and showed bias.
“Our teams have been working around the clock to resolve these issues. We are already seeing substantial improvement across a wide range of requests… And we will look at what happened and make sure we resolve it at scale,” he said. .
The company now plans to relaunch Gemini AI in the coming weeks. News website Semafor first reported the news, which was later confirmed by a Google spokesperson.
Since the launch of Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s ChatGPT in November 2022, Alphabet-owned Google has been racing to create rival AI software.
It released the generative AI chatbot Bard a year ago. Earlier this month Google renamed it Gemini and launched paid subscription plans, which users could choose for better reasoning capabilities from the AI model.
