Please d*e.” What Happened: Last week, a Reddit user alleged that during an interaction, the Gemini chatbot became hostile, delivering a string of alarming statements culminating in the phrase “Please d*e.” Source: Google Gemini/CBS The incident, first reported by CBS News, followed another incident where Character.AI’s chatbot allegedly influenced a teenager to commit suicide, as per the Associated Press. See Also: Elon Musk Says AI Will Surpass Doctors, Lawyers After ChatGPT Tops Medical Diagnoses In response, Google acknowledged the incident in an emailed statement to Benzinga and then on X, formerly Twitter. The company confirmed that the response violated its policy guidelines, and stated that actions were taken to prevent similar occurrences. “We take these issues seriously. Large language models can sometimes respond with nonsensical responses, and this is an example of that. This response violated our policies and we've taken action to prevent similar outputs from occurring,” a Google spokesperson told Benzinga. The tech giant's investigation also concluded that the incident was isolated and not reflective of a systemic issue. However, Google acknowledged that it could not rule out the possibility of a malicious attempt to provoke the chatbot into generating inappropriate behavior. Corrective measures have since been implemented to prevent Gemini from producing similar responses in the future.

Why It Matters: Google’s generative AI platform, Gemini, has emerged as a competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft Corp.’s MSFT+0.54% Get Free Report Copilot, Anthropic's Claude, and Meta Platforms Inc.'s META+1.28% Get Free Report LLaMA, among others. The company has also gained traction through efforts such as the Gemini API Developer Competition and seamless integration within the Google ecosystem. Despite its advancements, Gemini has faced criticism since its launch, with concerns raised over biased responses and errors in image generation. This latest incident has sparked a broader debate about the safety and reliability of AI systems, particularly as tech giants race to develop advanced generative AI models. Some argue that the fast-paced development of AI has often overlooked thorough testing and ethical concerns. Last month, Google’s parent company reported a 15% year-over-year increase in third-quarter revenue. At the time, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai stated that all seven Google platforms with over two billion users, including Google Maps, now operate on Gemini models. To meet growing demand, Gemini is also being made available to developers, beginning with GitHub Copilot. Price Action: On Monday, Alphabet’s Class A stock rose 1.63%, closing at $175.30, while Class C stock increased by 1.67%, finishing at $176.80, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Following the election of Donald J. Trump to a second non-consecutive term, global capital markets have generally responded well to the news. However, one of the strongest beneficiaries of this electoral boost has been the cryptocurrency sector. With the total valuation of the digital asset ecosystem recently eclipsing the $3 trillion mark, investors clearly embrace the incoming Trump administration's potentially favorable policies. Indeed, some blockchain advocates have declared that Trump's victory will represent a "golden era" for virtual currencies. Those bullish on the sector are predicting the arrival of new federal regulators that are open to cryptocurrencies, according to a report by the Financial Times. Plus, these decentralized assets could converge with favorable macroeconomic conditions, leading to a possible blockchain renaissance At the same time, demand continues to skyrocket for artificial intelligence. Multiple top-tier companies – including Nvidia Corp NVDA and Apple Inc AAPL – are all racing toward a $4 trillion valuation. What's more, experts project that generative AI can have a $1 trillion impact just on the U.S. economy However, the underlying motif behind these and other digital innovations is energy: crypto mining and generative AI protocols consume a lot of it. As a result, it may not be possible for government agencies to have a discussion about leadership in these critical areas without mentioning nuclear power. It's no shock, then, that uranium prices have been moving higher over the last several months due to supply concerns and blistering demand One of the main advantages of this ETF is convenience. Unlike a complex, multi-leg options trade, investors can simply buy units of URAA, much like they would securities of a publicly traded company. Second, the fund features a basket of diverse companies. While the powerhouse Cameco Corp. CCJ tops the list, the ETF also includes less accessible entities, such as Kazakhstan's national operator Kazatompro Read More -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXCLUSIVE: BITCOIN ADVOCATE ANTHONY POMPLIANO SAYS COINBASE IS SIMILAR TO APPLE, 'HAS SOMETHING THAT CAN'T BE BOUGHT' by Chris Katje, Benzinga Staff Writer November 19, 2024 2:42 PM | 3 min read | Make a Comment ZINGER KEY POINTS * Anthony Pompliano praised Coinbase for its brand awareness and products that are bringing people to the cryptocurrency sector. * The investor sees crypto helping bring new companies public as younger investors are seeking liquid investments. Entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano expects more cryptocurrency companies to go public and or get acquired now that a new pro-crypto administration is in the White House. Coinbase a Winner: Pompliano compared Coinbase Global COIN to iPhone maker Apple during a discussion at the 2024 Benzinga Future of Digital Assets conference "Coinbase has something that can't be bought, they have trust," Pompliano said Pompliano, an investor in Coinbase, highlighted the company as one of the last big crypto IPOs. In his opinion, Coinbase does right by people, has a product that people love and has grown by word of mouth.
