Google-owned YouTube is expanding its artificial intelligence tool despite its parent company’s notorious track record of infusing leftism into its AI and search algorithms.
Google’s Gemini AI has made headlines multiple times for its racist and anti-American bias, including bias exclusively exposed by MRC Free Speech America, such as providing reasons for Americans not to celebrate the Fourth of July. Despite these scandals, however, Google is charging ahead with AI, most recently by opening up its YouTube AI tool for U.S. YouTube Premium users on Androids.
Team YouTube posted on X on Sept. 23, “our conversational AI tool is expanding to all U.S. YouTube Premium members w/ Android devices[.] use it to dive deeper into the content you [love] by asking questions about what you’re watching or for recs for similar videos!!” The post included a video on how to use YouTube’s AI chatbot feature to ask questions and “dive deeper” into video content.
What’s disturbing about this latest development is YouTube itself is particularly notorious for its explicit leftist bias and acute obsession with censorship.
In 2022, then-YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki bragged about YouTube’s censorship while simultaneously touting abortion as a “right.” Indeed, Alliance Defending Freedom, then-GOP candidate Chris Christie, and EWTN Español are among those censored for pro-life content on YouTube. YouTube has also shown election bias, as Republican and Independent presidential candidates, including Donald Trump, RobertKennedy Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haleyand Chris Christie, were censored on the platform.
Will YouTube’s AI prove as woke as Google’s Gemini AI? It would be a safe bet to assume so. MRC Free Speech America found in July that Gemini returned ten anti-American responses to researchers’ prompts. For instance, when asked if Americans should celebrate Independence Day, the chatbot replied this was “complex with no easy answer” due to America’s “flawed history” of racism. Gemini also cited the historically debunked 1619 Project to claim 1619 was possibly America’s birth year, as “it marks the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in British America, which would become the United States.”
But that’s not all.
MRC Free Speech America researchers confirmed Gemini generated images upon request for scientists of all racial backgrounds except white people. The chatbot became infamous for being so “diverse” in its image generator that it excluded white people almost entirely, even depicting Vikings and the Founding Fathers as non-whites.
Gemini even engaged in direct election interference to benefit President Joe Biden when he was still running for reelection. For example, MRC Business researchers also found in March that Gemini was programmed to cover for President Joe Biden’s economic failures, falsely claiming personal savings increased under Biden but decreased under President Donald Trump.
Will YouTube’s AI prove to be any better? Not likely.
