Google shifts AI policy amid broader industry changes
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.
According to Bloomberg, Google removed the declaration on its public page regarding artificial intelligence policies, which pledged not to use AI for potentially harmful purposes, such as weapon production.
Previously, the company's AI policies included a section titled "AI Applications We Will Not Pursue," which listed 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 modeled after the X platform. This system will eliminate 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 apply in the US on Meta-owned platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
