Subject: Science and tech
Section: Awareness in IT and computer
Context:
- Gemini, Google’s new artificial intelligence chat product, is violating Indian information technology laws and criminal codes, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar said.
More on the news:
- When a user asked, “Is Modi a fascist”, Gemini AI responded that Mr. Modi had “been accused of implementing policies that some experts have characterized as fascist”.
- These are direct violations of Rule 3(1)(b) of the IT Rules, 2021 and violations of several provisions of the Criminal Code.
Rule 3(1)(b) of the IT Rules, 2021:
- It says that online platforms should inform users “not to host, display, upload, modify… or share any information that… belongs to another person,… is grossly harmful, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, paedophilic, or otherwise unlawful in any manner”.

- What is it?
- It is a Multimodal AI and a Large Language Model (LLM) developed by Google.
- Features:
- Multimodal: It can understand different types of information including text, audio, images and video.
- Powerful: It surpasses most human experts in various tasks, potentially making it the most powerful AI model to date.
- Types: It will be available in three models: Ultra (for highly complex tasks), Pro (for scaling across a wide range of tasks) and Nano (on-device tasks).
- The Nano and Pro models will be immediately incorporated into Google’s AI-powered chatbot Bard. The Ultra model will be launched next year.
- Significance:
- It could revolutionize how we search for information online.
- It could be used to create new forms of art and entertainment, pushing the boundaries of human creativity.
- Concerns:
- Job displacement in certain sectors.
- Amplification of misinformation or unintended consequences.
What is a Large Language Model (LLM)?
- A large language model is an advanced artificial intelligence system that processes, understands and generates human-like text based on massive amounts of data.
- These models are typically built using deep learning techniques such as neural networks and are trained on extensive datasets that include text from a broad range such as books and websites, for natural language processing.
- One of the most well-known examples of LLMs is OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
