Google redefines AI stance, drops harmful use ban
Google has updated its artificial intelligence policies, removing the section that required avoiding the use of AI in potentially harmful applications, such as weapons - Bloomberg reports.
Bloomberg reported that Google has removed the declaration that it will not use artificial intelligence for potentially harmful purposes, such as weapon production, from its public page regarding artificial intelligence policies.
Previously, the company's AI policies included a section titled "AI Applications We Will Not Pursue," which featured technologies that cause or could cause harm.
This change is part of a broader policy shift by major tech companies, Bloomberg adds.
Zuckerberg follows in Musk's footsteps
The owner of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, has eliminated the fact-checking system on his social media platforms to align with President-elect Donald Trump, as assessed by the "Financial Times" on Monday.
Zuckerberg announced that he will introduce a new moderation system modelled after the X platform. The system will remove fact-checking and give users a more significant role in content control. Zuckerberg explained that his decision was motivated by the growing public opposition to internet censorship. The changes will be implemented in the UK on Meta-owned platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
