Google introduces new guidelines for AI-powered apps such as ChatGPT and Bing on the Play Store, mandating them to include options that allow users to flag offensive or inappropriate content generated by AI. .
Google announced that apps like ChatGPT, Bing, and others that use generated AI must have an in-app system to report objectionable content.
The new policy will take effect in January 2024, and will require app developers to use user reports to restrict their apps from producing “restricted content” and to refrain from “deceptive practices.” As people rapidly adopt generative AI apps, Google seems to want to curb the explicit content produced by these apps.

Last year, the popular AI-powered photo editing app Lensa was used to generate explicit content. His Microsoft Bing Image Creator, powered by DALL-E 3, recently came under fire for producing a photo of the fictional character Mickey Mouse riding a plane, gun in hand, heading towards his two towers. It has expanded.
Google is also making some changes to the permissions required for generative AI apps like ChatGPT. “Apps will only be able to access photos and videos for purposes directly related to the functionality of the app,” the tech giant said. AI apps like ChatGPT don’t require access to storage to work properly, but they frequently request access to photos and videos and will soon have to rely on Google’s system picker.
The tech giant has also made changes to the way apps display full-screen notifications. Many apps currently abuse this feature to lure users into subscriptions and in-app purchases. Google says the new policy will limit functionality and require special app permissions for apps that display full-screen notifications.
