Why You Should Care about AI Political Bias

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve written a bit about the troubling left-wing biases encoded into the widely discussed new AI technology ChatGPT. The new chatbot is happy to pen long, in-depth stories regarding any number of popular progressive fantasies — that Hillary Clinton won the presidential election, for example, or that Stacey Abrams lost her 2018 bid for Georgia governor because of voter suppression. But it refuses to indulge the right-wing alternatives, citing the danger of “misinformation.” At the same time, the AI has standard left-wing views on transgender ideology, the question of drag-queen story hour’s appropriateness for children, and a variety of other ongoing culture-war debates.
