The Oversight Board, an independent organization initially created by Meta, has published a report indicating that leading AI models may be unduly restricting users' freedom of expression. Their research involved prompting various AI models, including those from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and xAI, with questions about political criticism and protest materials.
