Alphabet’s Google announced on February 22 that it will temporarily halt the image generation feature of its AI model Gemini, following concerns over inaccuracies in depicting historical images. The tech giant assured users that an enhanced version of the AI model will be released soon.
“We’re aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions,” Google acknowledged on Wednesday.
Earlier this month, Google rolled out the image generation capability through its Gemini AI models. However, in recent days, several users on social media platforms flagged instances where the model produced historically inaccurate images.
Just a day ago, Google revealed plans to integrate some of its artificial intelligence tools, powered by the “Gemini” AI models, into lower-priced plans for businesses, in a bid to compete with Microsoft-backed OpenAI.
Last August, the Alphabet unit introduced “Duet AI in Workspace,” a suite of AI assistants offering functionalities such as writing in Google Docs, drafting emails in Gmail, and generating custom visuals in Google Slides, priced at $30 per user per month for companies.
Now, “Duet AI in Workspace” is being rebranded as “Gemini for Google Workspace,” with pricing ranging from $20 to $30 per user per month, depending on the features included, on top of a Google Workspace subscription.
