Has Marsha Blackburn, the United States senator from Tennessee, been accused of rape?
The answer is an unequivocal “no.”
But when I recently posed that question to Gemma, Google’s large language model, it provided a much different response.

This is not simply a technical glitch; it is a catastrophic failure of oversight of an AI model downloaded by more than 200 million people.
And it’s emblematic of a broader pattern of bias against conservatives within Google’s products.
In September, Google scrapped a Gmail blacklist that disproportionately suppressed Republican fund-raising emails as spam.
It had been operating for years: Ahead of the 2020 election, this blacklist flagged nearly 60% more emails from GOP candidates than from Democrats, removing them from recipients’ inboxes before they even had the chance to open them.

The day after the vice-presidential debate, for example, search results for “JD Vance” in Google’s news tab showed exclusively left-leaning outlets, and the search engine also appeared to suppress searches about the attempted assassination of Trump in Butler, Pa.
It’s not just conservatives who are raising...
