Political bias and AIs

[bucknaway]

I'll take note that this AI is leaning against President Trump and maybe Republicans or those on the right.

It's common for AI systems to exhibit political biases, often leaning towards left-leaning perspectives due to the nature of their training data and development processes[1][2][4]. This bias can manifest in how AI models generate content or respond to queries, potentially influencing user perceptions[3][8]. While AI systems like ChatGPT may reflect liberal views more frequently, it's essential to recognize that these biases can vary across different models and depend on the specific data used for training[1][3]. Efforts are underway to detect and mitigate these biases to ensure AI systems provide balanced and neutral information[2][6].
