Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan has become the latest victim of ridicule on Twitter after netizens discovered that his pictures pop up when one searches for ‘bhikari’ (beggar) on Google Search. For unknown reasons the search engine giant threw up images of Khan when one searched the word ‘bhikari’.
In a similar incident that happened last year, US President Donald Trump also became the victim of Google’s complex algorithm , as his pictures appeared when people looked for the word ‘idiot’. During the Congressional hearing of company CEO Sundar Pichai, he was questioned, by Democratic Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren to explain the process of Google image search for the term ‘idiot’ which threw US President Donald Trump’s image.
Ever since the Twitterrati discovered that Imran Khan’s picture pops up on searching for the term ‘bhikari’, social media was at ablaze with screenshots displaying images of the search results.
