AI chatbots censor content on controversial issues, raising concerns over free speech and UN standards.

AI chatbots like Google's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT censor content on controversial issues, raising concerns over free speech and their alignment with UN standards. Researchers from Vanderbilt University found that AI chatbots' use policies often fail to meet UN standards, potentially undermining international free speech norms. The authors argue that AI providers' market power has a significant impact on people's access to information, and society should ensure chatbots' policies align with free speech standards.
