Google Restricts AI Chatbot Gemini from Answering Election Questions

The move aims to combat misinformation amid the largest global election year, affecting users worldwide.

Google has imposed restrictions on its AI chatbot Gemini to prevent it from answering questions about elections, aiming to combat misinformation.
The decision affects users globally, with over two billion voters expected to participate in elections across at least 64 countries in 2024.
Other AI companies, such as OpenAI and Anthropic, have also struggled to keep their election-related misinformation promises.
Google's move follows recent controversies over AI-generated content, including misleading images and deepfake audio clips.
Governments and tech companies are increasingly cautious about AI's role in elections, with measures being taken to ensure information accuracy.
