FirstpostThe update is released at a time when the public’s concerns about false information and fake news have been heightened by advances in generative AI, including the creation of images and videos, leading governments to regulate the technology In an effort to prevent any potential blunders in the application of the technology, Alphabet-owned Google announced Tuesday that it will not be allowing its AI chatbot Gemini to respond to inquiries concerning the upcoming global elections. The update is released at a time when the public’s concerns about false information and fake news have been heightened by advances in generative AI, including the creation of images and videos, leading governments to regulate the technology. When asked about elections, like the one that will take place in the United States in which Joe Biden and Donald Trump will face off for the presidency, Gemini says, “I’m still learning how to answer this question.” In the interim, utilise Google Search." Google’s AI products are under the scanner after inaccuracies in some historical depictions of people created by Gemini forced it to pause the chatbot’s image-generation feature late last month.
