In a recent development, Google has issued an apology to India following a major controversy sparked by its AI platform, Gemini. The platform came under scrutiny after returning "unsubstantiated" results to a query about Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The controversy sparked when Chandrasekhar flagged a tweet showcasing how Gemini AI responds to inquiries about prominent global leaders. Some of the responses were labeled as 'complex,' while others expressed opinions, particularly concerning Prime Minister Modi.
