Twin Troubles | Google, Gemini, and Extremism (H&H 2-26-2024)
431The new world of AI is a strange one, made all the more noticeable by tech giant (and YouTube owner/operator) Google/Alphabet. But when AI goes a bit...mad, who's really to blame? The engine? Or the engineers? And what's the best way to talk about all this and more?\n\n***\nKEY POINTS
-In this episode, Richard Hoeg discusses Google's new Generative AI, Gemini, and delves into its background. He explores the role of media in shaping narratives, Google's attempt to mitigate AI bias, and the need for transparency in AI programming. The episode also touches on the limitations of AI and the potential harm of corporate shortcuts.
\n- 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.\n\n***\nCHAPTERS\n0:00 Introduction: Discussion on Generative AI and Google's Gemini
