As Google’s AI chatbot Gemini sparks global controversy, Alphabet’s CEO Sundar Pichai finds himself on the brink of a tumultuous exit. Speculation mounts as market veteran Samir Arora predicts Pichai’s departure in the wake of the Gemini debacle, igniting a firestorm of debate and scrutiny. But what exactly is Gemini AI, and why has it plunged Google into such a whirlwind of controversies?
Gemini, Google’s latest foray into artificial intelligence, promised to revolutionise the digital landscape with its advanced capabilities. Rebranded from the popular chatbot Bard, Gemini Pro 1.0 boasts global accessibility in over 40 languages across 230 countries and territories. With Google integrating Gemini into its premium services, users eagerly anticipated a new era of AI-driven interactions.
Controversies Galore
However, within days of its launch, Gemini AI found itself mired in a series of controversies that shook Google to its core. Reports emerged of a flawed image-generator linked to Gemini, perpetuating stereotypes and offensive depictions. Google’s swift apology and temporary halt to the feature failed to quell public outrage, fuelling concerns about the AI tool’s ethical implications.
In a damning turn of events, Gemini AI faced accusations of bias from India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. Allegations of skewed responses to queries about Prime Minister Narendra Modi triggered uproar on social media, prompting calls for regulatory intervention. As tensions escalate, Google braces for potential repercussions amid mounting scrutiny over Gemini’s integrity and impartiality.
The Fallout
As Google grapples with the fallout from Gemini’s missteps, Sundar Pichai’s leadership comes under intense scrutiny. With mounting pressure from investors and stakeholders, Pichai’s tenure hangs in the balance, raising questions about the future of Alphabet’s leadership. As the tech giant navigates turbulent waters, the fate of its CEO remains uncertain amidst a storm of controversy and criticism.
