‘Gemini not always reliable’: Google after chatbot’s response to ‘Is Modi a fascist’ question irks IT ministry

New Delhi: Under fire over AI tool Gemini’s objectionable response and bias to a question on PM Narendra Modi, Google on Saturday said it has worked quickly to address the issue and conceded that the chatbot “may not always be reliable” in responding to certain prompts related to current events and political topics.

On Friday, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar had warned that Google’s AI tool Gemini’s response to a question around the Prime Minister is in direct violation of IT rules as well as several provisions of the criminal code.

A journalist had flagged the issue on the internet, after which the minister took cognisance of the same.
