Google’s AI chatbot Gemini is being restricted from providing answers about global elections taking place this year to prevent potential errors in the technology’s deployment. Concerns about misinformation have led governments to regulate generative AI, prompting Google to limit election-related responses in preparation for upcoming elections worldwide. The company faced scrutiny for inaccuracies in historical depictions created by Gemini, leading to a pause in the chatbot’s image-generation feature. Other tech firms, including Meta Platforms, are also taking steps to address disinformation and misuse of generative AI in the context of elections.
