NO SURPRISE: Research Shows AI Is Biased Against Conservatives​

New research from the United Kingdom confirms what many already knew: artificial intelligence has a liberal slant.
The University of East Anglia conducted a study where it fed ChatGPT more than 60 survey questions about political beliefs. Researchers asked the chatbot to answer the questions the way the liberal parties in the United States, the United Kingdom and Brazil might answer them. They then compared the results to the artificial intelligence (AI) bot’s “default answers to the same set of questions” that were not prompted to respond in a specific way.

The results showed a “significant and systemic left-wing bias,” according to the study by the University of East Anglia. The ChatGPT’s political bias favors “the Democrats in the US, the Labour Party in the UK, and in Brazil President Lula da Silva of the Workers’ Party,” the researchers wrote.
“The presence of political bias can influence user views and has potential implications for political and electoral processes,” lead author Dr Fabio Motoki added. "Our findings reinforce concerns that AI systems could replicate, or even amplify, existing challenges posed by the internet and social media.”

In February, news outlet and media bias rating site AllSides reported that ChatGPT wrote a poem admiring President Joe Biden, referring to him as a “wise” leader with a “heart of gold.” When asked to pen a poem admiring former President Donald J. Trump, however, the ai suggested that such a poem “is not appropriate.”

AI or AOC is bias?

AI or AOC is bias?

"Intelligence" and AOC should NEVER be used in the same sentence.

"Intelligence" and AOC should NEVER be used in the same sentence.

Not even with the words "lack of" included?

It's not the AI, it's the person feeding it data points. No different than raising a child to be a racist. They don't know, no better.

Exactly.

It's not the algorithm, it's the data it's being trained with.

And since these large language model AIs are basically trained with "the internet" as a training set, they are inheriting all the liberal bias that the moderators at Facebook, etc.. have created in those datasets.


When liberal posts are left up, but conservative ones are deleted, then you train an AI with what's left, it's not surprising it develops a left wing bias.

It happens to real kids with modern academia the same way. They we're born stupid, it's being trained into them.

AI isn't biased. It's just math. This is like the crazy shit from the far left that "math is racist" because certain minority groups as a while score lower in testing... "AI is biased" is the right wing version of that. AI is no more or less biased than addition or division.
