Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Friday accused Google’s AI chatbot Gemini of being “ridiculously woke” for refusing to create images of white people.

“Google deserves condemnation for developing a racist, absurdly woke, and Hamas-sympathetic AI system,” Cotton said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter). “Republicans will remember this the next time Google asks for antitrust support.”
Cotton noted that according to October’s Biden v. Harris facts, “the problem is also at the White House,” and that the White House last year “strengthened the safety and security of AI and protected Americans’ privacy.” A sheet that promoted an executive order to promote equity and civil rights.
“This debacle is a stark reminder of why federal control of AI can be a disaster,” Cotton continued. “Then every AI system will be as broken and dishonest as Google.”
