House GOP demand Google reveal what role US government had in developing woke Gemini AI

 House Republicans are demanding documents from Google in an effort to learn what involvement the US government had in influencing the company’s woke artificial intelligence program, Gemini.

On Saturday, the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Alphabet, the parent company of Google and YouTube, insisting that all communications between the feds and Alphabet relating to Gemini be turned over to the committee by March 17.

“In light of new reporting regarding how Alphabet intentionally biased its AI model, Gemini, by giving it instructions that distort the results shared with Americans . . . we write to inform you that the committee views the subpoena as covering material relating to this technology,” said the letter, penned by committee chair Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan.

Jordan said he was alarmed by internal reports from within the Gemini team that it had followed Biden White House guidance stipulating that AI must advance “equity” — a left wing idea which argues that black people and other historically marginalized groups should be promoted and spotlighted ahead of white people and other groups not historically marginalized — regardless of merit.

Google’s Gemini came in for widespread mockery after it emerged the system refused to produce images of white people and instead spat out “diverse” portrayals of the Founding Fathers, popes and Vikings.

“Given that Alphabet has censored First Amendment-protected speech as a result of government agencies’ requests and demands in the past, the Committee is concerned about potential First Amendment violations that have occurred with respect to Alphabet’s Gemini model,” the letter continued.

Google’s AI Gemini created many images like this “woke” diversity pope.

Imgesu Cetin, founder of Genie AI, which focuses on data analysis, said woke AI is a serious issue on the tech horizon.

“It says don’t write anything racist or sexist, but then you start affecting the truth. George Washington was not a black guy. So it’s really big danger, manipulating reality,” she told The Post.
