OpenAI won't let politicians use its tech for campaigning, for now

The company, which makes the popular ChatGPT chatbot, DALL-E image generator and provides AI technology to many companies, including Microsoft, said in a Monday blog post that it wouldn't allow people to use its tech to build applications for political campaigns and lobbying, to discourage people from voting or spread misinformation about the voting process. OpenAI said it would also begin putting embedded watermarks -- a tool to detect AI-created photographs -- into images made with its DALL-E image-generator "early this year."
