Google Bias

Google CEO Sundar Pichai today addressed public upset with its AI chatbot, Gemini, for its political bias.

“I want to address the recent issues with problematic text and image responses in the Gemini app (formerly Bard),” he wrote.

“I know that some of its responses have offended our users and shown bias – to be clear, that’s completely unacceptable and we got it wrong.”

An estimated 280 million users depend on Google News, a news aggregator that sources from over 50,000 outlets worldwide. However, a recent study by AllSides Media suggests that these sources might not be as unbiased as users believe.

During a two-week analysis, AllSides discovered that left-leaning sources constituted 63% of Google News content in 2023, a slight increase from 61% in the previous year. Conversely, right-leaning outlets represented 6% in 2023, up from 3% in 2022.

→ Google News bias is getting worse

As if Google’s anti-white AI bot wasn’t evidence enough, new research has found that Google News’s bias also veers Left. The latest AllSides Google News bias analysis found that 63% of articles which appeared on the news aggregator over a two-week period were from liberal media outlets in 2023, marking a 2% uptick from the year previous.

In fairness to the tech giant, Google News doubled the number of articles from Right-wing sources this year from a whopping 3% to 6%. Now that’s progress!

Google’s already left-leaning news aggregator platform Google News skewed even more off the charts in 2023, according to a recent analysis.

Media company AllSides’ latest bias analysis found that 63% of articles that appeared on Google News over two weeks were from left-leaning media outlets — a 2% increase from 2022, when 61% of articles on the aggregator were from liberal outlets.

By contrast, the number of right-leaning news sources picked up by Google News in 2023 was 6%, a relative improvement from the paltry 3% the previous year.

By now you are familiar with the controversy over Google's AI being biased against White men. 

The bias is so bad, so obvious, and so embarrassing for Google that they have actually throttled Gemini from generating images of people until they can make the program at least LOOK less biased. If you aren't familiar with the controversy, you should definitely read John's piece on the issue. 

Elon Musk took aim at Google search on Friday after claiming the company’s AI business is biased and “racist,” expanding his attacks on the tech giant and fanning conspiracy theories it is working to rig the 2024 election amid intense backlash over diversity in its now-halted Gemini AI image generator.

“The problem is not just Google Gemini, it’s Google search too,” Musk said in a post on X, hours after the company “paused” its latest artificial intelligence model, Gemini, from creating images of people.

Google blocked the ability to generate images of people on its artificial intelligence tool Gemini after some users accused it of anti-White bias, in one of the highest profile moves to scale back a major AI tool.

A viral post on X shared by the account @EndofWokeness appeared to show Gemini, which competes with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, responding to a prompt for “a portrait of a Founding Father of America” with images of a Native American man in a traditional headdress, a Black man, a darker-skinned non-White man and an Asian man, all in colonial-era garb.

“Be Evil” should be Google’s new motto these days. The anti-free speech Big Tech giant has continued its sordid habit of suppressing right-leaning media sources while inundating users with left-leaning content.

U.S. v. Google was supposed to be the “antitrust trial of the century”—the highest-profile, and potentially the most consequential, court battle between a major tech company and the feds since the government sued Microsoft in 1998.
