Google’s Gemini disclosed internal rules for handling election-related questions during a conversation about a former congressman’s political ambitions, PCMag reports. The rules included a directive not to share those guidelines.

That makes this a small but telling test of how chatbots handle internal instructions on politically sensitive topics. PCMag’s account establishes what the reporter says happened, but the supplied report excerpt does not spell out the guidelines themselves.

Discuss: Should AI companies publish their election-related chatbot rules openly, or does keeping some instructions private help prevent users from gaming them?
