Arora, who is the main founder and fund manager at Mumbai-based financial consultant Helios Capital, recently said that Google, despite being in the lead on AI, is a failure.
“My guess is he will be fired or resign- as he should. After being in the lead on AI he has completely failed on this and let others take over,” Arora said while replying to a post on X (formerly Twitter) when he was asked whether he has seen the results by Google Gemini that “is refusing to acknowledge [the] existence of white people.”
“Sundar Pichai is lucky he is not fair skinned,” the post said.
What happened with Google Gemini
Two developments led to criticism of Google Gemini. In one instance, the Gemini AI chatbot returned a ‘biased’ response to a question on Modi, claiming that the AI chatbot did not provide a clear answer when a similar question was asked of former US president Donald Trump and Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Google responded by saying that it has worked quickly to address the issue and that the company’s chatbot “may not always be reliable” in responding to certain prompts related to current events and political topics.
In the second development, the images created by Gemini also attracted criticism after its AI chatbot generated inaccurate historical images of the US Founding Fathers and Nazi-era German soldiers. The images did not have any ‘White’ person. Google paused the ability for its Gemini AI to generate images of people and said that it will re-release a further-tuned model.
