Senator Blackburn criticizes Google for false stories against her and conservatives as fake news based on AI input falsehoods at hearing

Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn and Google Vice President of Government Affairs and Public Policy Markham Erickson discuss how Google's Gemini AI model generated completely false stories with apparent political bias against conservatives, including fabricated articles about Robbie Starbucks and false claims about Blackburn herself with fake links. Blackburn angrily accuses Google of training its AI on false information and calls the hallucination explanation inadequate for such egregious errors at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on jawboning by the Biden Administration.
