OpIndia AI: Google Clarifies Bard's Responses Don't Mirror Its Perspective On Algorithmic Bias
Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, responded to the post, asserting that safe harbor protections would not be applicable to platforms promoting algorithmic or search bias
In the face of user accusations regarding artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic bias within Bard, Google has openly acknowledged the potential for inaccuracies in its AI chatbot responses. The tech giant clarified that these responses do not necessarily align with Google's official perspective. The controversy emerged when, on November 16, a user on X (formerly Twitter) shared screenshots of a conversation with Google Bard, requesting a summary of an article from OpIndia. The AI chatbot's response claimed it couldn't summarize the article, alleging that OpIndia spreads false information.
In light of this, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, responded to the post, asserting that safe harbor protections would not be applicable to platforms promoting algorithmic or search bias, or whose AI models exhibit discriminatory behavior. The minister went on to encourage users to file FIRs (First Information Reports) against platforms found propagating such algorithmic bias.
