As AI explodes onto the scene, recent hiccups should have ask asking: What do we want from this technology, anyway?
  • Google's Gemini AI chatbot roll-out was marred by bias issues.
  • The controversy fuelled arguments of "woke" schemes within Big Tech.
  • Inside Google, the bot's failure is seen by some as a humiliating misstep.

The takes are still flying in the wake of Google's embarrassing Gemini roll-out — where the company tried to make sure its flagship AI chatbot corrected for bias and ended up with a comically biased AI chatbot.
