The move comes after social media users criticized the tool for generating images of historical figures, such as the U.S. Founding Fathers, as people of color, labeling this representation as inaccurate.

Backlash for Release of Gemini
Launched at the beginning of February, Gemini, formerly known as Bard, introduced an AI image generation tool that aimed to create a wide range of images, catering to the diverse needs of its global user base.
However, it quickly faced backlash as users pointed out discrepancies in historical representations, highlighting the importance of accurate depictions, especially in contexts with historical significance.
Google’s Response
In response to the criticism, Google acknowledged the shortcomings of the Gemini AI feature and expressed its commitment to addressing the issue promptly.
A spokesperson for Google stated that they are working on improving the accuracy of historical depictions and will temporarily pause the feature until the necessary enhancements are made.
The company emphasized its dedication to representation and bias mitigation, particularly in historical contexts.
Challenges Faced
Despite Google’s efforts to advance its AI capabilities with Gemini, the recent challenges underscore the complexities of historical representation in AI-generated content.
The tool’s inability to accurately depict historical figures raises questions about the underlying algorithms and data biases that may influence the generation process.
Additionally, the timing of the setback coincides with Google’s ongoing efforts to compete with Microsoft-backed OpenAI in the AI research landscape.
