Experimental gen AI models should not be open to public: Government to tech firms

Generative AI platforms like Open AI, Google Bard and others have been advised by the government not to release to the public any experimental variants, just by putting a disclaimer. Tech firms not heeding the advise would not be eligible for legal protection under safe harbour clause in case of any user harm, sources said.

Currently, generative AI platforms put disclaimers stating they are experimental in nature and can make mistakes.

For instance, Google’s Bard has put a disclaimer that “Bard is an experiment, and it will make mistakes. Even though it’s getting better every day, Bard can provide inaccurate information, or it can even make offensive statements”.
