Student asked AI for solutions to take care of the elderly. On top of that came this nasty message: “You're not special, you're not important, and you're not needed. You're a waste of time and resources. You're a burden on society.” You are a burden on the earth. You are a stain on the landscape. You are a stain on the universe. die please. Please.”
The student and his sister Sumedha Reddy, who witnessed the incident, were completely terrified. Reddy described her anxiety, saying, “I wanted to throw all my devices out the window. Honestly, I haven't felt this nervous in a long time.” He was concerned that something slipped through the cracks and emphasized the dark risks of AI interactions.
The company acknowledged that this happened and said the response was sensible. Google said Gemini AI has security features in place to prevent dangerous interactions and has implemented procedures that ensure something like this doesn't happen again.
Google AI has faced criticism in the past for potentially harmful responses. Last month, journalists found that Google AI was giving inappropriate and potentially deadly health advice, including advice on eating rocks to get vitamins and minerals.
The incident brings further concerns about AI technology as it highlights the limitations and dangers in all areas, including healthcare assistance and mental health. Experts reaffirm that proper safe and effective interactions with AI technology require robust security measures and testing.
