Google Apologizes To Govt Over Gemini's Results On PM Modi

In a significant development, Google has formally apologized to the Indian government for the unreliable and unsubstantiated comments made by its AI platform, Gemini, regarding PM Modi. Minister of State for IT & Electronics, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, shared that Google acknowledged the platform’s unreliability and issued a formal apology to the government in response to a notice seeking an explanation for Gemini’s questionable results.

Government’s Critique of AI Platforms

The government, dissatisfied with Google’s admission, criticized a section of AI platforms, including Gemini, for providing consumer solutions even during trial phases. Minister Chandrasekhar expressed concern over India being used as a testing ground for AI platforms that have faced global criticism for disseminating biased, misinformed, or unverified results.

Minister Chandrasekhar dismissed Google’s apology, emphasizing that the platform’s unreliability is not a defensible position.

Government’s Stance on Testing and Disclosures

Minister Chandrasekhar asserted that India should not be considered a testing ground for under-developed platforms, particularly when they fail to make proper disclosures to users. He emphasized the need for explicit information in consent forms and terms of use, declaring that platforms should inform users about potential errors, unreliability, and the risk of producing unlawful content.

PM Modi – Legal Consequences for AI Platforms

The minister highlighted that AI platforms operating in India can face legal consequences under Indian IT and criminal laws for violations and dissemination of incorrect information. He referenced the existing legal framework, stating that platforms cannot use unreliability as a defense against prosecution.

Addressing Gemini’s Results

Gemini’s unverified and unsubstantiated results came under severe criticism from the government, characterized as “reckless, irresponsible, and certainly disrespecting” toward Indian consumers. Minister Chandrasekhar declared that the government would take measures to prevent platforms from taking Indian digital citizens for granted.
