Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) blasted Google CEO Sundar Pichai over the company’s woke Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) tool and called for him to testify about it, under oath, to Congress.
The AI program received backlash after depicting a litany of historically inaccurate images and text in service of the left’s DEI agenda – including generating the Pope as a black woman and claiming there was “no definitive proof” that Hamas committed sexual violence during the October 7 attacks on Israel.
Come testify to Congress. Under oath. In public. https://t.co/S4WukHUuE6

Senator Hawley also reiterated the need to repeal Section 230 and allow Americans to sue AI companies. He has previously introduced bipartisan legislation to clarify that Section 230 immunity will not apply to claims based on generative AI, ensuring consumers have the tools they need to protect themselves from harmful content produced by the latest advancements in AI technology, such as the Gemini tool.
If conservatives want to rein in Google Gemini, there’s only one way: repeal Section 230 – and allow Americans to sue these AI companies. If we don’t, they’ll soon control everything: news, information, our data, elections …

Google’s AI just flat out lies to people. And deliberately lies to conservatives. Is this who you want brainwashing your kids? Give people the power to sue these AI companies and put age limits on AI for kids https://t.co/RzY2qWbQc1
