1. Google Pulls Gemma AI Model After Fabricated Assault Claim Against U.S. Senator

Google has pulled its Gemma AI model from the AI Studio platform after it falsely generated a rape allegation involving Senator Marsha Blackburn’s 1987 campaign. The model even fabricated supporting “news” articles that led to error pages when checked.
Blackburn accused Google of anti-conservative bias and demanded the model’s suspension until stronger safeguards exist.

Google said Gemma was built for developers, not general factual queries, and its removal was intended to prevent confusion and misuse. The episode highlights AI’s persistent hallucination problem and renewed pressure on tech firms to police their models.
