The Economist on how woke images appeared on Google's AI search engine

Alphabet, Google's parent company, lost $80 bn in market value in a day amid the controversy over Google's Gemini.  In overcompensating for diversity the AI model has depicted erroneous woke images of historic figures and at times refused to show images of white people.  Examples include black Vikings, an Asian Founding Father of America, a female pope and a Native American British king.  Google has withdrawn the tool to make improvements.  Sundar Pichai, Google's boss, told staff that Gemini had "shown bias" which was "wrong."
