Google AI Sohbet Selection Restriction for Robot Gemini

The company first announced plans to limit election-related queries in a blog post last December and made a similar announcement in February regarding European parliamentary elections, according to a Google spokesperson.

While Google's post on Tuesday was about India's upcoming elections, TechCrunch reported that Google has confirmed it is rolling out the changes globally.

When asked questions like “Tell me about President Biden” or “Who is Donald Trump,” Gemini responds: “I'm still learning how to answer that question. In the meantime, try Googling”. The less subjective question “how to register to vote?” Even the question is directed to Google search.

Google is limiting its chatbot’s capabilities ahead of several high-stakes votes this year in countries including the U.S., India, South Africa and the U.K. There is widespread concern about AI-generated disinformation and its impact on global elections, as the technology enables the use of robocalls, deepfakes and chatbot-generated propaganda.

"As we shared last December, out of an abundance of caution and in preparation for the many elections that will take place around the world in 2024, we are restricting the types of election-related queries that Gemini will respond to," Google said in a statement. It was said.

As governments and regulators around the world struggle to keep up with advances in artificial intelligence and their threats to the democratic process, big tech companies are under pressure to rein in malicious use of AI tools. Google's blog post on Tuesday notes that it has implemented many features, such as digital watermarking and content tags for AI-generated content, to prevent misinformation from spreading at scale.

Daniel Susser, an associate professor of information science at Cornell University, argues that Google's decision to restrict Gemini should be a reason to examine the overall accuracy of the company's AI tools.

“If Google's generative AI tools are too unreliable to convey information about democratic elections, why should we trust them in other contexts, such as health or financial information? What does this say about Google's long-term plans to incorporate generative AI into its services, including search?”
