With a slew of momentous elections expected to be held next year, Google has confirmed it will restrict the types of election-related queries for which its AI-powered chatbot Bard and Search Generative Experience (SGE) will return responses.
The announcement comes ahead of crucial elections across the globe including the US Presidential Elections as well as the impending general elections in India and South Africa.
The move serves as a major sign that the search giant is focusing more on AI’s impact on the impending elections. It also represents a much-needed shift towards more responsible use of AI in political contexts.
