THE HAGUE: AI chatbots are “unreliable and clearly biased” when offering voting advice, the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) said on Tuesday, warning of a threat to democracy eight days before national elections.
The four chatbots tested by the AP tended to advise people to vote for parties on the left or on the far-right extreme of the political spectrum, the watchdog tested.
The machines “often end up with the same two parties, regardless of the user’s question or command”, the AP said in a new report ahead of the Oct 29 election.
