Twin Troubles | Google, Gemini, and Extremism (H&H 2-26-2024)
In this episode, Richard Hoeg delves into Google's Generative AI, Gemini, discussing its background, the need for transparency in its programming, and its limitations. He also addresses the role of media in shaping narratives, the potential harm of corporate shortcuts, and maintains family-friendly content throughout.
Key Points
- Generative AI, such as Google's Gemini, is influencing the future of news aggregation and content creation, but its deployment has raised concerns about bias and the manipulation of historical accuracy.
- The controversy around Google's Gemini AI highlights the complex challenges of balancing technological innovation with ethical considerations, particularly in the context of political and racial sensitivity.
- Efforts to create a diverse and inclusive narrative through AI, as seen with Gemini, can backfire when the implementation is perceived as heavy-handed or when it strays too far from historical accuracy.
