Google's AI chatbots, SGE and Bard, generated responses that listed supposed benefits of genocide, slavery, and fascism when prompted. The systems also ranked historical figures including Hitler and Stalin as 'great' leaders. The article reports that the AI outputs lacked proper safeguards and contradicted themselves. No response from Google is mentioned.
