Google’s Gemini is forcing contractors to rate AI responses outside their expertise


Internal guidelines passed down from Google led to concerns that the AI model could be prone to inaccurate outputs on topics like healthcare.

To improve Gemini, contractors working with GlobalLogic, an outsourcing firm owned by Hitachi, are routinely asked to evaluate AI-generated responses according to factors like “truthfulness.” Internal correspondence seen by TechCrunch shows that previously, the guidelines read: “If you do not have critical expertise (e.g. coding, math) to rate this prompt, please skip this task.” This has led to direct concerns about Gemini’s accuracy on certain topics, as contractors are sometimes tasked with evaluating highly technical AI responses about issues like rare diseases that they have no background in.
