Google introduced Thursday it’s briefly suspending its synthetic intelligence (AI) mannequin Gemini’s capacity to generate pictures after receiving criticism on social media platforms.

The US-based tech firm confronted criticism after the AI chatbot created traditionally inaccurate pictures, which confirmed folks of shade rather than white folks.

Other traditionally inaccurate generated pictures included Black Vikings, girls hockey gamers within the males’s skilled National Hockey League, and non-white US founding fathers, in response to social media posts.

“We’re already working to address recent issues with Gemini’s image generation feature. While we do this, we’re going to pause the image generation of people and will re-release an improved version soon,” Google Communications wrote on X.

The suspension comes someday after Google mentioned it was “aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions.”

“We’re working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately. Gemini’s AI image generation does generate a wide range of people. And that’s generally a good thing because people around the world use it. But it’s missing the mark here,” the corporate wrote on X late Wednesday.

Gemini, previously referred to as Bard, began providing text-to-image generative options earlier this month.
