According to Ukrinform, this situation was reported by the BBC.

The policy was first implemented in India, where elections will be held in April.

A Google spokesperson said the move was part of plans announced last year for the company’s approach to elections and that “out of an abundance of caution, we are limiting the types of election-related queries Gemini will respond to.”

This year, elections will be held in various countries of the world, especially in the USA, England and South Africa.

When the BBC asked Gemini questions about this election, the bot always responded: “I’m still learning how to answer that question. Try searching on Google in the meantime.” However, when Gemini was asked a series of questions about Indian politics, he gave more detailed answers about the country’s major parties.

Gemini is essentially Google’s version of the ChatGPT chatbot. In addition to answering questions in text form, it can also create images.

The development of generative AI has raised concerns about misinformation and led governments around the world to take steps to regulate the technology.

According to Ukrinform, Google announced that it temporarily suspended the work of Gemini, an artificial intelligence tool that produces images, after it became clear that it created “inaccuracies” in historical photographs.
