Google to Limit AI Responses to Election Queries Ahead of 2024

Tech giant's move follows similar restrictions by Meta, amid concerns over AI-generated misinformation in upcoming elections.

Google announced it will limit its AI's responses to election-related queries from Bard, its version of ChatGPT, and its AI-generated search results ahead of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.
The company did not elaborate on the precise nature of the restrictions, but said they will come into force early in 2024.
Google will also require election advertisers and YouTubers to disclose whether their content has been generated using AI.
Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, also declared its intention to ban political campaigns and advertisers from using its novel AI advertising products.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has warned that the 2024 elections could be chaotic due to the misuse of AI on social media platforms.
