Here's Why You Shouldn't Use AI to Vote

PUBLISHER ARTICLE PREVIEW

From the original article

As Americans go to the polls today, many will have had their decision about who to vote for informed by an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot.

Around 50 percent of recently surveyed US adults have at one time used an AI chatbot, and 8 percent say they have used these tools ahead of the midterms to find information on candidates and policies, according to Pew Research.

But a lot of information from these chatbots is out of date and has been hallucinated or sourced from partisan websites.

Even supposedly non-partisan chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, and Google’s Gemini have been found wanting when it comes to questions about the midterms.
