Alphabet's Google said on Tuesday it will restrict the types of election-related queries its chatbot Bard and search-generative experience can return responses for in the run-up to the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The restrictions are set to be enforced by early 2024, the company said. The tech giant said it will "work with an increased focus on the role artificial intelligence (AI) might play" as it looks to service voters and campaigns related to these elections. Facebook-owner Meta also said in November that it is barring political campaigns and advertisers in other regulated industries. On the other hand, Elon Musk's social media platform X, said in August it would now allow political advertising in the U.S. from candidates and political parties. It will also expand its safety and elections team ahead of the U.S. election. Governments across the globe have been rallying to regulate AI in light of the threats it poses, such as the spread of misinformation.
