Alphabet to limit AI-based search poll queries

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 2024 U.S. Presidential election.

The restrictions are set to be enforced by early 2024, the company said.

Aside from the U.S., a slew of groundbreaking elections are expected in 2024, including national elections in India, the world’s largest democracy, and South Africa, among others.
