Meta's AI chatbot is facing restrictions in India during the ongoing general elections. The company is blocking specific election-related queries and redirecting users to the Election Commission of India's website. This move comes as part of Meta's efforts to improve its AI response system and prevent the spread of misleading information during elections. Other big tech companies like Google have also implemented similar restrictions in their AI services in countries with elections. Despite some inconsistencies, Meta continues to work on enhancing its AI capabilities and ensuring a more reliable user experience. The company's approach reflects a broader commitment to promoting transparency and accountability in the digital space, especially around sensitive political events like elections.
