Google Bard AI won't answer questions about Putin asked in Russian

The AI chatbot, Google Bard, reportedly refuses to respond to most queries about Russian president Vladimir Putin when asked in Russian. It also tends to produce more false information in Russian and Ukrainian compared to other AI chatbots. This has raised concerns about the training of these AIs and the potential risks of using them as alternatives to traditional search engines.

Researchers are investigating the influence of Russian censorship on the new generation of large language model (LLM) AI chatbots. The findings could have significant implications for the use of AI chatbots in information dissemination and highlight the need for careful scrutiny of their programming and training.
