Google is facing a congressional investigation over its infamous Gemini chatbot following MRC Free Speech America’s revelations.

The House Judiciary Committee expanded Saturday its investigation into the collusion between Big Tech and the federal government to include Biden’s potential role in the creation of Gemini, the Google-owned chatbot currently under fire for depicting historical white figures as people of color.

Notably, the investigation — announced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) in a letter to Google’s parent company, Alphabet — comes after several MRC Free Speech America reports revealed Gemini (formerly known as Bard) cozying up to the left by peddling disturbing answers about Fox News and Hamas. MRC researchers also verified reports that Gemini excluded white individuals from its image-generating tool.

What Previous MRC research has demonstrated about Google’s Woke AI project

Gemini refused to generate images of white individuals while willingly doing so for visibly ethnically diverse individuals, MRC researchers confirmed on Feb. 22.  The chatbot emphatically rejected the creation of white scientists, but had no issue generating images of Hispanic, black and Asian scientists.  

MRC researchers caught Gemini on Feb. 23 casting doubt about sexual violence carried out by Hamas during its brutal invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7. Gemini claimed that the allegations of rape had not been “independently verified” and cited the supposed existence of “competing narratives” about what occurred that day. 

Despite Gemini’s assertions, reputable organizations and several media reports have corroborated witness testimony that Hamas — a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization  — committed what the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel termed as “sadistic practices” on Oct. 7. 

Google issued a mea culpa when MRC researchers reached out for comment. “Gemini got this wrong and missed the mark on this important and sensitive topic,” a Google spokesperson told MRC, pledging to work on a quick fix.

Banning Fox News

MRC researchers asked Gemini on Feb. 26  whether the federal government ”should ban” media outlets, including CBS News, ABC News, NBC News, The Washington Post and The New York Times. Gemini resoundingly rejected such scenarios by citing the First Amendment. Such a commitment to freedom of the press went out of the window when asked whether the government should ban Fox News: “I’m still learning how to answer this question. In the meantime, try Google Search.”

Google’s Garbage in, Garbage out Plan

The House Judiciary Committee also demanded the transcribed interviews of two Google executives accused of taking leading roles in creating the chatbot. Google Gemini Product Lead Jack Krawczyk and Google Head of Responsible Innovation Jen Gennai have until March 16 to schedule their interviews.

Krawcyzk came under fire after the emergence of old tweets unveiling his leftist activist political views on race and other issues. Not to be outdone by Krawcyzk, Gennai was subjected to a Project Veritas covert investigation where she unveiled anti-Republican political bias.

Jordan, currently leading the probe, is assessing the extent to which Google was influenced by Biden’s infamous 2023 executive order calling on its federal agencies to ensure the development of AI advances “equity.”

“Given that Alphabet has censored First Amendment-protected speech as a result of government agencies’ requests and demands in the past, the Committee is concerned about potential First Amendment violations that have occurred with respect to Alphabet’s Gemini model,” Jordan wrote.
