OpenAI outlined limits on using its tools in politics during the run-up to elections in 2024, amid mounting concern that artificial-intelligence systems could mass-produce misinformation and sway voters in high-profile races.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Dall-E are some of the most powerful AI chatbot and image-generation applications available. The growth of such tools has raised worry that software made by OpenAI and its peers could be used to manipulate voters with false news stories and computer-generated images and video.
Among a series of clarifications on its policies Monday, OpenAI said people aren’t allowed to use its tools for political campaigning and lobbying. People also aren’t allowed to create chatbots that impersonate candidates and other real people, or chatbots that pretend to be local governments, it said.
