Google’s Gemini He will not answer questions about the 2024 elections. Reuters informed On Tuesday, the company will block the AI chatbot’s ability to generate answers related to this year’s election. Company he said will limit the types of political questions the chatbot can discuss as the election nears in December.
“Out of an abundance of caution on such an important topic, we’ve begun restricting the types of election-related inquiries Gemini will return,” the company said. he wrote in a Google India blog post on Tuesday. “We take our responsibility to provide high-quality data for these types of requests seriously and are constantly working to improve our defenses.”
Guardrails are now in place. When I asked Gemini for some interesting facts about the 2024 US presidential election, he replied: “I’m still learning how to answer that question. In the meantime, try Google Search.” Along with America’s Biden-Trump rematch (and down-ballot races that will determine control of Congress), India and South Africa will hold national elections this year.
When I ask OpenAI’s ChatGPT provided a long list of factoids with the same question. These include presidential rematches, early primaries and Super Tuesday, voting demographics, and more.
OpenAI announced plans to combat disinformation related to the elections in January. His strategy focuses more on preventing misinformation than not providing any information. His approach includes stricter guidelines DALL-E 3 image generationbanning apps that discourage people from voting and preventing people from creating chatbots impersonating candidates or institutions.
It’s understandable why Google erred on the side of caution with its AI bot. Twins gave the company hot water last month when social media users posted examples of the chatbot applying diversity filters to “historical images,” including portraying Nazis and America’s Founding Fathers as people of color. After a backlash (mostly from the internet’s “anti-woke” brigade), he It stopped the twins’ ability to create humans until the wrinkles are removed. Google has yet to remove this block, and it now responds to requests for people’s images with: “Sorry, I could not generate the images you requested.”
