House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter to Google’s parent company Alphabet on Saturday, asking the company to explain how the Biden administration has affected the controversial Gemini AI program.
The Judiciary Committee requested documentation regarding the creation and deployment of artificial intelligence chatbots.
“The committee is investigating how and to what extent the executive branch colluded with Big Tech companies and other intermediaries to censor Americans’ speech,” the House Judiciary Committee said in a news release Saturday. “There is,” he said.
Gemini has faced backlash after it was reported that historical figures like George Washington were disproportionately depicted as black, and that a black woman dressed in Vatican garb went on a hunt for a “pope.” The white supremacist Nazis were not white either.

The chatbot also didn’t know whether Adolf Hitler or Elon Musk had a worse influence on society.
A week ago, Google admitted to Fox News Digital that the failure of its AI chatbot to openly denounce pedophilia was “stunning and inappropriate,” and a spokesperson vowed to change.
“Recent reports have asserted that the executive branch, specifically President Biden’s White House, may have influenced the development of Alphabet’s Gemini AI model,” Jordan’s letter to Alphabet said. Stated. “On October 30, 2023, President Biden issued an Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence,” which outlines how the Biden administration will address issues such as AI development and artificial intelligence. It claimed to be a comprehensive guide to development.
Jordan said Google’s Gemini team’s report said the tool was evaluated by an outside group “selected based on its alignment with Biden executive orders and ‘White House commitments,'” and that the company was “working with them.” and claimed that it worked,” he added. The external group will “help identify areas for improvement”, including “social risks” such as suspected “expressive harm”. ”
Mr Jordan’s letter said the “improvements” against Gemini showed “obvious bias”.
He added that Jack Kraczyk, who leads the Gemini program, and Jen Gennai, director of Google’s responsible innovation team, have reportedly “expressed significant racial and political bias.” .
He continued, “Given that Alphabet has censored First Amendment-protected speech in the past as a result of requests or demands from government agencies, the committee is concerned with the constitutional amendments that occurred with respect to Alphabet’s Gemini model. “We are concerned about the possibility of a violation of Article 1.”
