OpenAI Limits Tools for Political Campaigning, Candidate Impersonation

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. Among a series of clarifications on its policies, OpenAI said people aren’t allowed to use its tools for political campaigning and lobbying or to create chatbots that impersonate candidates and other real people, or chatbots that pretend to be local governments.
