Google apologized Tuesday for sending out an “offensive notification” about the recent BAFTA Film Awards controversy, which included the use of the N-word.
The inclusion of the slur in the message, which Google confirmed to Variety was received by a “only a very small subset” of app users who receive push notifications, was not due to a system error involving AI, as has been incorrectly reported. According to Google, the system’s safety filters did not correctly trigger when it “recognized a euphemism for an offensive term on several web pages, and accidentally applied the offensive term to the notification text.
