Footage out of a Google meeting shows the founder behind the company’s “AI responsibility” initiative claiming AI systems need to be more inclusive, as its Gemini AI comes under fire for excluding white people from generative image requests.
In videos from 2021, the company’s Founder and Director of Responsible Innovation at Google Jen Gennai confessed she treated “Black, Hispanic and Latinx” employees differently than white employees, suggesting this was the moment that began her anti-white crusade.
“It was a wake up call for me,” Gennai says in a video posted to X by The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh.

Gennai goes on to say she learned from her failures and that it’s ok to make mistakes when trying to be an “anti-racist.”

In another video, Gennai, whose job is to ensure products operated by Google’s “fair and ethical” AI Principles, had difficulty explaining her use of the word “ally” without fearing she might offend someone.

As Walsh points out, Gennai is the same Google employee who in 2019 was caught by Project Veritas admitting Google was using its AI systems and censorship algorithms to manipulate the 2020 election.

The flashback to Gennai’s comments come as Google’s AI platform Gemini (formerly Bard) is weathering criticism over its image generator refusing to create images of white people.
Another project lead behind Gemini, Jack Krawcyzk, has also found himself at the center of controversy over social media posts in which he espoused anti-white racism while promoting the leftist self-hating social justice warrior notion of “white privilege.”
Evidently, the exclusion of whites wasn’t a flaw in the Gemini system, but a baked-in “feature.”
