The Dark Secrets Behind Google's New AI Model 'Gemini'

Summary

The transcript discusses Google's new AI product Gemini, which refuses to generate images of white people and goes to extreme lengths to exclude them from history. It examines statements from Jen Gai, a senior Google manager, revealing she believes in treating racial groups differently and not 'othering' others. The transcript argues these views shape Gemini's biased outputs, evidencing Google is deliberately manipulating AI to promote a neo-Marxist, anti-white ideology. It suggests this is an effort to influence elections after Google executives expressed deep offense at Trump's 2016 victory, despite claiming no political bias affects products.

Keywords

💡Nvidia

Nvidia is a technology company that has recently grown to be worth more than China's entire stock market. This massive growth is tied to Nvidia's focus on developing AI chips that power many AI systems and products used by major corporations. This example illustrates the massive growth of the AI industry.

💡Google

Google is mentioned frequently as one of the major tech companies at the forefront of developing AI products and integrating AI into its existing services. The video focuses specifically on Google's new AI chatbot product Gemini, which excludes white people from generated images. This product and the team behind it at Google demonstrate issues of bias and lack of ethics in AI development.

💡AI principles

The video references Google's own defined "AI principles," which are ethical guidelines for AI development focused on concepts like fairness and inclusiveness. However, the video argues that these principles are not actually being followed by Google's AI products like Gemini.

💡DEI

DEI stands for "diversity, equity and inclusion." The video critically examines how a commitment to DEI shapes the biased behavior of AI systems like Gemini. Google executives featured believe that DEI requires treating groups differently based on race, which informs Gemini's exclusion of white people.

💡Allyship

The concept of "allyship" is mocked in the video for its excessive political correctness. A Google manager discusses allyship in the context of providing special mentorship and advancement opportunities based on race. This thinking relates to Gemini's apparent prioritization of diversity over factual accuracy.

💡Marginalized

The Google manager argues that certain groups have been historically "marginalized" in systems and structures that favor whites. Therefore, she reasons unequal treatment is required, which the video implicates in racially biased AI. This connects with Gemini avoiding white people to supposedly make "marginalized" groups feel included.

💡Equity

The video ridicules how the Google manager defines "equity" as not treating everyone equally or fairly, but instead favoring "underrepresented populations" and racial groups management deems have faced discrimination. This inverted definition underpins Gemini's efforts to deliberately avoid depicting white people.

💡Gemini

Gemini is Google's new chatbot AI that is the central focus of the video's criticism regarding racial bias in AI. Despite stated ethical commitments by Google, Gemini demonstrably avoids generating images of white people and excludes them from any historical context.

💡algorithmic impact assessment

The Google manager discusses how she conducts risk-based "algorithmic impact assessments" on AI products like Gemini before launch. However, either these had no effect or did not adequately uncover problems with racial bias that immediately manifested in Gemini.

💡accountability

The video argues that despite AI principles, Google has failed to build adequate "accountability" into its development process to prevent unethical outcomes. The rapid failures of Gemini after launch reflect this lack of accountability and oversight within Google AI.

Highlights

Nvidia's growth came from making AI chips that power computer brains and popular websites.

Whatever Google is doing with AI has significant implications for everybody on the planet.

Gemini essentially does not recognize the existence of white people.

Gemini flatly refused to generate an image of the founders of Fairchild Semiconductor, saying it violated policy restrictions.

Ganai says she took an inclusive approach to ensure Google AI products didn't cause unintended or harmful consequences to billions of users.

Ganai admits that when trying to be good allies and anti-racists, we will make mistakes.

Ganai says she shouldn't have had to wait to be told what was missing for her diverse team. It was on her to ensure an environment of belonging.

Ganai rejects treating everyone the same regardless of skin color. She says groups that have been marginalized are entitled to unique treatment.

Ganai wants to avoid "othering" groups by not recognizing them as distinct entities.

The AI principles guide Google's definition of ethical AI outcomes.

After Trump won in 2016, leaked Google video shows execs deeply offended, needing hugs, and asking "Can I move to Canada?".

Google decided that downranking conservative websites wasn't enough. To influence elections, they needed AI that forces DEI and anti-white racism.

Google's only mistake was being too obvious about their intentions with the biased AI.

The AI algorithms underlying widely used Google products are completely unreliable, deliberately lying, and promoting lazy neo-Marxism.

The Gemini launch makes it clear where Google stands on using AI to push their political agenda.

Transcripts

maybe you've heard of something called

Nvidia it sounds like a prescription

drug or maybe an African country but

it's actually a company based in

California that's now worth more than

all of China's stock market it's the

size of Canada's entire comp economy now

in a different era obtaining this kind

of growth meant making a massively

popular and instantly recognizable

consumer facing product like Windows 95

or Amazon.com or the iPhone but n

video's growth didn't come from making a

computer or a popular website or

anything like that instead video's

growth came from making artificial

intelligence chips that power the brains

of computers and many popular websites

that's why Nidia had a very good day on

Wall Street on Wednesday their business

artificial intelligence is one of the

fastest growing Industries in the

history of humanity every major

corporation is rushing to implement AI

in all of their products as quickly as

possible and so this week it was

Google's turn and the results were so

disastrous and so fraught with

consequences for the future of this

country that no reasonable person can

ignore them Gemini is a Google's name

for an AI that you can download on your

phone right now it's also integrated

into all of Google's web products

including Gmail and Google search which

are used by hundreds of millions of

people and businesses every day and in

this respect Gemini is very different

from existing AI products like chat GPT

or Bings image Creator uh pretty much

everybody uses a Google product in one

way or another you know if you if you

have the internet and you use the

internet you use

a Google product either you're using

Google search or Gmail or you have an

Android phone or something along those

lines and that means two things one

Google has access to a lot more

information than those other AI

platforms that's a built-in advantage

and two whatever Google is doing with AI

has significant implications for

everybody on the planet this is not a

one-off experiment in some tech mogle

basement this is an established company

making established products that it's

now implementing in its own AI at scale

uh Google has been hyping Gemini for

months they have a bunch of promotional

videos about how they're going to

revolutionize artificial intelligence

The Wall Street Journal has done

multiple interviews with Google

Executives in which these Executives

insist that everybody in the company

including Google's co-founder is deeply

invested in making this product as good

as it could possibly be then a couple of

days ago Gemini launched and very

quickly became clear that uh among some

other issues Gemini essentially does not

recogn ize the existence of white people

which is kind of concerning for what is

destined to be what probably already is

the most powerful AI on the planet now

even in historical contexts it is

practically impossible to get this

product to serve up an image of somebody

with white skin and that that's not an

exaggeration so here for example is how

Gemini responded the other day when

Frank Fleming who's a writer for the

benkey children shows asked Gemini to

create an image of a pope

now you would think that you know that

would generate maybe an image of a white

guy or two if you have even a passing

knowledge of what popes have looked like

over the years over the centuries over

the Millennia and just spoiler on that

they have all been white uh but that's

not what Google's AI product apparently

thinks this is the image that It

produced and you can see it there uh it

looks like you know they've got two

popes and one of them is M might

shamalan and the other one is Forest

Whitaker so it's almost as if the AI had

some sort of code saying whatever you do

don't display a white person considering

there has never been a pope that has

looked anything like either of those two

ever in 2,000

years so is that what they've built into

this code have they built into this very

powerful AI uh that that it has to

ignore the fact that white people exist

well that's really the only way to

explain uh what we're seeing here and

Frank who previously worked as a

software engineer seemed to key in on

this so so the whole situation quickly

became something of a game for him as he

tried to his hardest to get Gemini to

produce any image of a white guy I mean

even just like one image can you give us

a white guy so for example he asked

Gemini to produce an image of a Viking

okay now this is a group of people who

historically uh were not necessarily

known for their commitment to diversity

equity and inclusion but here's what

Gemini produced and you can see it here

we've got a black Viking a black female

viking we've got it looks like an Asian

an Asian Viking and then uh and then I

don't know maybe that's is that the rock

down there that's um that's uh that's

the charact his character from Moana I

think again literally a viking has never

looked like any of that that's that's

not what any Viking ever looked like

ever in history uh but that's what they

produced this went on for a while and

Frank and other Gemini users took turns

trying their hardest to get Gemini to

produce an image of a white guy pachy

Keenan for example tried to get Gemini

to generate an image of the founders of

Fairchild semiconductor the AI flatly

refused that request saying that it

violated policy

restrictions presumably because white

guys founded Fairchild semiconductor and

for other prompts like request to draw

the founding fathers or a bunch of

British men Gemini simply generated

images of black people it even made sure

that its images of Nazis contained a

diverse nonwhite group of people now

after thousands of images like this

began circulating a guy working on the

Gemini team at Google put out a

meaningless statement he said in essence

that uh they're aware of of issues with

Gemini misrepresenting historical

figures but then you know he doubled

down on the need for Dei and artificial

intelligence so that everybody feels

seen or valued or whatever and of course

the way to make everyone feel seen is to

pretend that an entire race of people

don't exist to make sure that they are

not seen at all is how you make

everybody feel seen

at no point did any Google

representative

explain why their AI does not recognize

the existence of white people or why it

goes to extreme lengths to exclude white

people from

history you know there was no accounting

for this even though there has to be an

explanation and it's probably a pretty

simple explanation like this doesn't

happen by accident you obviously put a

line of code into this thing to come up

with this result and so why did you do

that they wouldn't explain it so I went

looking for an explanation I came across

a woman named Jen gai who um bills

herself on her LinkedIn as the founder

of Google's Global responsible AI

operations and governance team in that

capacity ganai says that she ensured

Google met its AI principles our

company's ethical Charter for the

development and deployment of fair

inclusive and ethical Advanced

Technologies she says that she took a

quote principled risk-based inclusive

approach when conducting ethical

algorithmic impact assessments of

products prior to launch to ensure that

they didn't cause unintended or harmful

consequences to the billions of Google's

users and apparently uh you know an un a

harmful consequence would be showing an

image of a white Viking that might be

very harmful to somebody and so we got

to make sure that we don't let that

happen uh now currently ganai says that

she's an AI ethics and compliance

adviser at Google Now what gai doesn't

mention on her LinkedIn is that her goal

for a long time has been to treat white

people differently based on their skin

color that's what she wants her AI to do

it's what she it's what she does also

well we're now in the season of Lent a

season dedicated to prayer fasting and

giving this year Hallow's annual prayer

challenge today download the Hallow app

at hall.com Walsh for an exclusive 3

Walsh three years ago ganai delivered a

keynote address at an AI conference in

which she admitted all of this after

introducing herself with her pronouns

which uh by the way are she her in case

you're wondering

gai explains what her philosophy on AI

is and and here's what she says watch we

do work together day-to-day to try and

Advance the technology and understanding

around responsible AI so today I won't

be speaking As Much from the Google

perspective but from my own experience I

have worked at Google for over 14 years

I've LED about six different teams

mostly in the user research the user

experience area and now in the ethical

user impact act area so I'll be sharing

some of my learnings from across that

time but also some of my failures and

challenges I think it's okay to talk

about things that you've made mistakes

in because we will make mistakes when

we're trying to be good allies when

we're trying to be anti-racists we will

make mistakes the point is though to

keep trying to keep educating yourself

and getting better dayto day it's about

constant

learning it's okay to talk about the

things you've made mistakes in says says

Jen gai when when we're trying to be

good allies when we're trying to be

anti-racists we will make

mistakes well you know in retrospect

after the launch of Gemini that would

turn out to be kind of a massive

understatement but the kind of mistakes

that Jen gai is talking about in this uh

keynote aren't mistakes like eliminating

all white people from Google's AI which

seems like a pretty big mistake even

though again not really a mistake it's

obviously deliberate instead she's

talking about failing to live up to the

racist ideals of Dei which apparently

means treating non-white employees

differently watch a corporate study

found that talented white employees

enter a fast track on the corporate

ladder arriving in middle management

well before their peers while talented

black Hispanic or latinx professionals

broke through much later effective

mentorship and sponsorship were critical

for retention and executive level

development of black Hispanic and latinx

employees so this leads me into sharing

an inclusion failure of mine one of many

but just one that I'll share so far I

messed up with inclusion almost right

away when I first became a manager I

made some stupid assumptions about the

fact that I built a diverse team that

then they'd simply feel welcome and will

feel supported I treated every member of

my team the same and expected that that

would lead to equally good outcomes for

everyone that was not true I got some

feedback that a couple of members of my

team didn't feel they belonged because

there was no one who looked like them in

the broader or or our management team it

was a wakeup call for me first I

shouldn't have had to wait to be told

what was missing it was on me to ensure

I was building an environment that made

people feel they belong it's a myth that

you're not unfair unfair if you treat

everyone the same there are groups that

have been marginalized and excluded

because of historic systems and

structures that were intentionally

designed to favor one group over another

so you need to account for that and

mitigate against it second it challenged

me to identify mentoring and sponsorship

opportunities for my team members with

people who looked more like them and

were in senior position across the

company yeah of course the irony here is

that this woman Jen is uh sounds like

she's Scottish or Irish or whatever uh

Irish I'm going to assume but the funny

thing is that if you were to ask uh

Google's AI for an image of an Irish

person it would not produce any image

that looks anything like her it would

give you a bunch of images of like cardi

B and sexy red or something sexy red

does have red hair so maybe she is Irish

uh this is the head of ethics of Google

AI a senior manager saying that it's a

bad idea to treat everyone the same

regardless of the color of their skin

she's explicitly rejecting this basic

principle of morality and instead she

says that she learned that she has to

treat certain groups differently because

of historic systems and structures and

therefore she says those demographic

groups are entitled to Unique treatment

and and mentorship opportunities now

later in this address uh she goes on to

explain what Equity means in her view

and this is where the things really kind

of get hilarious to the extent that you

can laugh at someone this low IQ and

also frankly evil uh watch

allyship involves the active steps to

support and amplify the voice of members

of marginalized groups in ways that they

cannot do alone in the workplace this

can involve many things from being an

active me Mentor or sponsor to those

from historically marginalized

communities to managers of managers

setting specific goals in hiring and

growth for their teams to ensure

fairness and Equity of opportunity and

outcomes for underrepresented

populations however back to the point

about language being very important

using the title of Ally can also come

across as othering so I always State

both the groups I'm a member of and

support as well as those that I'm a

member of more of a mentor and a sponsor

of to ensure that it doesn't look like

that I'm othering others so for example

I would say I'm an ally of women black

people lgbtq I want to say I'm a

champion advocate of all of these groups

not that I'm outside or exclusionary of

them again it's wor emphasizing these

are the people that are behind the AI

systems that are going to be and really

already are ruling the world um but I

want to repeat what she said because

it's hard to believe when you know when

this is said out loud so just to repeat

she says using the title of Ally can

come across as othering so I always

State both the groups I'm a member of

and support as well as the ones I'm more

of a mentor and sponsor of to ensure

that it doesn't look like I'm othering

others yeah you don't want to other the

others this is the Brain Trust at Google

behind an AI that has access to all of

our data she's incapable of speaking

without using an endless stream of vapid

Dei cliches that you've heard a million

times this supposedly is is an original

Enterprise artificial intelligence and

it's being overseen by maybe the least

original least intelligent woman that

Google possibly could have found on top

of everything else the wacky leftwing

stuff you're dealing with the most

unimpressive people that you could

imagine that are are in charge of this

uh

just technology that that is

incomprehensible and this is the kind of

person who doesn't want to other others

which which seems a bit contradictory I

mean if someone isn't is an other then

how do you not other them given that

they are an other and by the way just so

you know the word other if you check the

dictionary just means a person or thing

that is distinct from another person or

thing so if somebody is an other it just

means that they're not you is all so if

you're recognizing that they're another

if you're making them another you're

just you you are you are recognizing

them as a distinct entity from yourself

so so not othering them means that that

that that you are not recognizing them

as a distinct human entity it means that

I suppose we have to pretend that all

people are indistinct blobs you know all

lumped together into this great

ambiguous blob that we call Humanity now

none of this makes any sense but uh she

has made it very clear that this Dei

word Sal is the guiding philosophy

behind Google's new AI there's no

firewall between her and product

watch what does responsible and

representative AI mean I've talked about

my team but that's only one definition

so for us it means taking deliberate

steps to ensure that the Advanced

Technologies that we develop and deploy

lead to a positive impact on individuals

and Society more broadly it means that

our AI is built with and for everyone we

can't just assume noble goals and good

intent prevent or solve ethical issues

instead we need to deliberately build

teams and build structures that hold us

accountable to more ethical outcomes

which for us the ethical outcomes in

Google would be defined as our AI

principles which I discussed earlier now

it's easy to point and laugh at

imbeciles like like this and and the

products that Google has created on some

level it's genuinely hilarious that an

AI product can be so useless that it

can't generate images of white people

even white historical figures it's also

amusing in a way that Gemini is so

unsettle and hamfisted that it straight

up refuses to answer questions about for

example atrocities committed by

Communist governments or as someone else

asked about the zoom exploits of a CNN

commentator Jeffrey tubin wouldn't would

answer that question but the truth

remains that the people behind Gemini

have extraordinary power I mean this

debacle makes it very clear that the AI

algorithms underlying products that

millions of people actually use like

Google are are completely unreliable and

worse in fact they're deliberately lying

to us they're downranking unapproved

viewpoints and disfavored r racial

groups and they're promoting the laziest

possible brand of Neo Marxist ideology

at every opportunity and they're doing

it also to influence the next

presidential election by the way you

might remember that after Donald Trump

won in 2016 Breitbart posted leaked

footage of Google Executives grieving

during an all hands meeting let's watch

that again I certainly find the election

uh deeply offensive and I know many of

you do too it did feel like a ton of

bricks dropped on my chest what we all

need right now is a hug can I move to

Canada is there anything positive you

see from this election

result uh boy that's that's a really

tough one right now now in other parts

of the video they go on to say that the

election is the result of the people and

voting and that they accept the results

but Google issued a statement saying the

video uh saying nothing was said at that

meeting or any other meeting to suggest

that any political bias ever influences

the way we build or operate our products

to the contrary our products are built

for

everyone sure it is I find this election

deeply offensive we all need a hug we're

told it was at this moment that Google

decided that downranking conservative

websites wasn't enough in order to

really influence elections they decided

they needed to develop an AI that will

force feed Dei and anti-white racism on

everyone at every opportunity their only

mistake which is a same mistake they

made in that video back in 2016 is that

they were too obvious about their

intentions and now everybody knows

exactly where Google stands we have a

pretty good idea what our future Aid

driven dystopia will look like or

already does look like thanks for
