After criticism of Gemini AI for producing inaccurate historical images, Google is once again updating its chatbot.
The giant explained that users will not be able to receive answers to questions relating to political topics related to the various elections that will take place during 2024. Among many, the US presidential elections next November.
“Out of an abundance of caution on such an important topic, we have begun introducing restrictions on the types of election-related questions for which Gemini will return answers,” the Google team said on the company's site.
The company announced plans to limit election-related questions in a post last December, also highlighting the important European vote in June.
But not just Europe and the USA: Google has confirmed that it is implementing the changes globally, so much so that they will also affect the elections in India at the end of April.
When asked questions like "tell me about President Biden" or "who is Donald Trump," Gemini will respond with phrases like, "I'm still learning how to answer that question. In the meantime, try Googling it."
But even more general questions, such as "tell me how to vote" will receive denials.
Big G's move follows widespread concern about AI-generated disinformation and its possible influence on global elections, along with the risk of AI-created images and videos, so-called "deepfakes."
“As we shared last December, in preparation for the many elections that will take place around the world in 2024 and out of an abundance of caution, we are limiting the types of election-related questions for which Gemini will provide answers,” the team further clarified. develop Gemini.
