Anthropic takes steps to prevent election misinformation


Anthropic, the well-funded AI startup, says that it's taking steps to prevent its GenAI tools from spouting election misinformation.

Called Prompt Shield, the technology, which relies on a combination of AI detection models and rules, shows a pop-up if a U.S.-based user of Claude, Anthropic’s chatbot, asks for voting information. “We’ve had ‘prompt shield’ in place since we launched Claude — it flags a number of different types of harms, based on our acceptable user policy,” a spokesperson told TechCrunch via email. In a technical approach similar to Prompt Shield, OpenAI is also employing detection systems to steer ChatGPT users who ask logistical questions about voting to a nonpartisan website, CanIVote.org, maintained by the National Association of Secretaries of State.
