# Bias, Risks and Limitations
|
| 155 |
+
|
| 156 |
+
Like all large language models, Gemma-based systems may:
|
| 157 |
+
- hallucinate information
|
| 158 |
+
- generate inaccurate answers
|
| 159 |
+
- reflect biases present in training data
|
| 160 |
+
- misunderstand context
|
| 161 |
+
- produce incomplete or misleading outputs
|
| 162 |
+
|
| 163 |
+
Multimodal interpretation may also produce inaccurate analysis of visual or textual inputs.
|
| 164 |
+
|
| 165 |
+
Internet search functionality may retrieve inaccurate or outdated information from external sources.
|
| 166 |
+
|
| 167 |
+
Human supervision is recommended for important decisions.
|
| 168 |
+
|
| 169 |
+
Machines are still extremely confident pattern predictors pretending not to be probability engines. Sometimes they are correct. Sometimes they are very creative.
