Google removed the AI ​​model Gemma after the scandal with fake accusations against the US senator

Google has temporarily removed the Gemma language model from its AI Studio environment after US Senator Marsha Blackburn accused the AI ​​of spreading false claims. TechCrunch writes about it.

In a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, the Tennessee senator said Gemma had misrepresented during testing that she had been accused of rape in 1987. The model even provided fictitious links to news articles that led to non-existent pages.

Blackburn emphasized that such events had never happened and called the model’s response “an act of defamation created and disseminated by Google’s AI.” She also mentioned a lawsuit filed by activist Robbie Starbuck, who accuses Google of spreading similar fabrications about himself.

During a Senate hearing, Google’s vice president of public policy, Markham Erickson, acknowledged that “hallucinations” are a known problem with AI models, and the company is working to minimize them.

After the letter was published, Google said that Gemma was not intended for consumer use and was created as a tool for developers. The company temporarily removed the model from AI Studio, but kept it accessible via API.
