AI Abuse Alert: How Google Veo 3 Is Being Used to Spread Racial Stereotypes
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we create and consume content—but its dark side is increasingly coming to light. A growing controversy surrounds Google’s video-generation tool Veo 3, which has been used to create and spread racist, dehumanizing content. One such disturbing trend is the viral series of AI-generated videos depicting Black women as “Bigfoot Baddies”—videos that mimic historical racist stereotypes, and are now under fire globally.
What Is the Controversy About?
Dozens of AI-generated clips, reportedly made using Google Veo 3, show Black women with exaggerated features—long nails, big hair, over-the-top mannerisms—paired with degrading scenarios, including jokes about fried chicken, alcohol, and criminal behavior. These videos have spread across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, racking up millions of views.
Some of these videos even carry the Veo watermark, clearly pointing to Google’s tool as the source.
What Is Google Veo 3?
Veo 3 is Google’s latest AI-powered video generation tool that creates realistic 1080p clips from simple text prompts. It can generate characters, actions, voices, and settings—all from a few lines of input. It was designed for creators and marketers, but in the wrong hands, it’s becoming a tool for hate amplification.
Who Is Making These Videos?
An anonymous Instagram account is reportedly generating and posting these videos, while also selling a $15 course to teach others how to do the same. The videos often appear in TikTok’s “For You” feed, rapidly gaining reach before moderation teams can respond.
Expert Opinions
Nicol Turner Lee, Director of Tech Innovation at the Brookings Institution, compared these videos to minstrel-era racism, calling them “a dangerous modern evolution of dehumanizing imagery.”
Meredith Broussard, NYU Professor and author of More Than a Glitch, said tools like Veo lack “bias-aware” design, making them vulnerable to racial and gender-based misuse.
Media Matters, a U.S.-based watchdog, confirmed multiple Veo-originated videos breached TikTok’s hate speech rules.
Platforms’ Silence Raises Questions
Despite the backlash, Meta (Instagram), TikTok, and Google have not issued official statements or takedowns addressing the trend. Activists and digital rights experts are demanding clearer policies and swift moderation mechanisms.
Why This Matters
The use of AI to perpetuate racial stereotypes is not just offensive—it can normalize hate in subtle, algorithm-driven ways. These videos don’t just reflect social bias; they reinforce and multiply it. When AI tools are used to spread discrimination, trust in technology erodes, and marginalized communities bear the brunt.
What Needs to Change?
✅ Responsible AI Design: Developers must include strict filters and bias checks in creative tools like Veo 3.
✅ Swift Content Moderation: Platforms must improve detection and takedown times for hate-filled or racially harmful content.
✅ Public Awareness: Digital media literacy campaigns should educate users on AI-generated misinformation and bias.
AI is powerful—but without ethical checks, it can easily become dangerous. Google Veo 3’s misuse shows that even cutting-edge innovation can be turned into a weapon of stereotype and division. If tech giants don’t act fast, the future of AI could be shaped not by creativity, but by unchecked prejudice.
