Google restricts AI Gemini from answering queries on global elections

Google has announced restrictions on its AI chatbot Gemini from answering queries related to global elections, aiming to prevent potential misinformation. This follows concerns about fake news fueled by advancements in generative AI. The decision extends previous U.S. restrictions globally and comes after inaccuracies in Gemini’s historical depictions led to its image-generation feature’s suspension. Meta Platforms has also announced measures against election-related disinformation. However, researchers warn about the susceptibility of AI tools to produce misleading election-related content. Despite updates to policies by some AI tool providers, concerns persist about the spread of deceptive political content. Overall, efforts are underway to address the risks associated with AI-generated content and its impact on election integrity and public discourse.
