Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google unit received more than 250 complaints globally over an 11-month period that its Gemini artificial intelligence software was used to make deepfake terrorism material, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing Australian eSafety Commission records.
The company also received 86 reports from April 2023 through February 2024 warning that Gemini also was being used to create child abuse material, according to the report.
Tech firms, under Australian law, are required to supply the eSafety Commission with periodic reports about their harm reduction efforts for online users. The report did not say how many of the complaints were verified.
Google did not immediately respond to a message from MT Newswires on Wednesday seeking to verify the eSafety Commission data.
