Study Finds Political Censorship in Major AI Chatbots

A new study analyzed the responses of several popular chatbots and found significant differences when asked about governments, political leaders, and human rights.

According to the researchers, some models avoided answering certain questions or gave less critical responses about authoritarian governments.

The data used to train an AI

Artificial intelligence models learn from vast amounts of text gathered from the internet, books, documents, and other digital sources.

Restrictions imposed by companies or governments can also influence the answers users receive.

Specialists recommend comparing multiple sources and not relying on a single chatbot as a reference for political, historical, or international topics.
