Big tech vows action on ‘deceptive’ AI in elections

In a landmark decision, big tech companies have promised to take action against the use of deceptive AI in elections. With the rise of artificial intelligence, concerns have been raised about the potential for AI to manipulate voters and skew election results.

Google, Facebook, and Twitter have all agreed to implement new guidelines to prevent the spread of misleading information and fake news during election campaigns. This move comes after widespread criticism of social media platforms for their role in spreading false information and influencing voters.

The use of AI in elections has become a growing concern, with fears that algorithms could be used to target specific groups of voters with misinformation. By committing to greater transparency and oversight, big tech companies hope to restore trust in the democratic process and ensure that elections are free and fair.

Experts have praised the decision, noting that it represents a significant step towards regulating the use of AI in elections. However, they caution that more needs to be done to address the underlying issues of disinformation and manipulation in the digital age.
