Listen "Is Google/AI Racist?"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Andy & Brendan inquire as to the conclusions about Google's all time boondoggle of a launch of their AI platform, Gemini. Gemini was swiftly revealed to be racist, intensely politically biased and, perhaps strangest of all, heavily subjective in its output.
Many germane questions resound: does AI, like children, require someone to teach them to be racist? Is this a failure of technology or ideology? Is this the summit of DEI failures or the failure to properly understand DEI? Or is this all just a mirror back to humanity itself?
As always, one of the most important lessons here is that talking to people who you disagree with remains one of the most relevant tools at our - and AIs - cognitive disposal!
