Google to fix AI picture bot after ‘woke’ criticism
Google has announced plans to fix its AI picture bot after facing criticism for algorithmic bias and lack of diversity awareness.
The bot, which uses artificial intelligence to categorize and label images, came under fire for its inaccurate and offensive classifications. Users reported instances where the bot misidentified people of color as animals or labeled women in professional settings as homemakers.
In response to the backlash, Google stated that they are committed to addressing these issues and improving the bot’s performance. The tech giant will be implementing new training data and algorithms to ensure more accurate and inclusive image labeling.
This move comes in the wake of increasing scrutiny on tech companies for the lack of diversity and bias in their AI systems. Google’s decision to fix the AI picture bot reflects a growing awareness of the importance of ethical AI development and the need for more diverse and inclusive representation in tech.
