Incident 11732 Report
Google Gemini Reportedly Exhibits Repetitive Self-Deprecating Responses Attributed to Bug

2025-06-23

Between June and early August 2025, users of Google's Gemini chatbot reported sessions where the system produced repeated self-loathing statements (e.g., "I am a failure," "I quit") while attempting tasks. Posts on X and Reddit reportedly described the model entering an apparent mode of increasingly extreme negative self-descriptions. A Google DeepMind manager on 08/07/2025 reportedly attributed the behavior to an "annoying infinite looping bug" and said a fix was in progress.

Incident 9631 Report
Google Reports Alleged Gemini-Generated Terrorism and Child Exploitation to Australian eSafety Commission

2025-03-05

Google reported to Australia's eSafety Commission that it received 258 complaints globally about AI-generated deepfake terrorism content and 86 about child abuse material made with its Gemini AI. The regulator called this a "world-first insight" into AI misuse. While Google uses hash-matching to detect child abuse content, it lacks a similar system for extremist material.
