Google has announced that its AI chatbot Gemini will be restricted from answering questions about elections as a precautionary measure and 'out of an abundance of caution.' This decision comes amidst the anticipation of the largest global election year in history, with over two billion voters expected to participate across at least 64 countries, as reported by The World Economic Forum.

In preparation for the numerous elections scheduled worldwide in 2024, Google has decided to limit the types of election-related queries that Gemini will respond to.
