According to recent reports, Google Gemini will not answer some questions about elections. In a statement by the company, it was mentioned that there are important election processes in many countries in 2024, so Gemini will provide much more limited responses on such topics to prevent any harm to democracy. It is also mentioned that some racist responses given by the chatbot in recent days are considered as an important factor in making this decision. Here are all the details…
Google Gemini will remain silent on election issues!
The decision will first be seen in the Indian elections to be held in April. In the upcoming period, there are critical elections in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, and South Africa. Of course, Turkey, which will go to the polls for municipal elections on March 31st, can also be counted among these countries.
When you ask Gemini about this topic, it says it doesn’t know how to answer the question and advises you to do a Google search instead. There are concerns that this radical decision by the company could pave the way for new AI censorship.
The massive development of artificial intelligence capabilities has also brought about some fears. There are also those who argue that these capabilities could harm political life. The allegation that Facebook manipulated the 2016 US general elections and the legal process that followed have led many technology companies to be much more cautious in this regard. Some users believe that they should be able to consult chatbots on all topics, and that such bans could damage freedom of thought.
