No one on this board needs to hear about AI bias, but it's good that the public is seeing articles like this. Wakey, wakey!

Also, along the way to inserting AI into everything, this topic needs more consideration.

Artificial intelligence chatbots are relying on left-wing media and politically charged sources, making it difficult for the average American to trust them as a news source, critics say.

AI systems are widely known to sometimes “hallucinate” and generate false yet believable information that can quickly erode trust.

Some critics insist chatbots such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Claude provide information with a liberal slant, or push information from left-leaning news sources while silencing opposing views.

As more and more Americans rely on the technology, the right-leaning Media Research Center (MRC) has conducted studies in an attempt to determine if the chatbots should be relied upon — and they don’t find the results encouraging.

“We’re watching the next phase of media bias unfold in real time,” Media Research Center President David Bozell told Fox News Digital.

“Silicon Valley’s shiny new toys can no longer be considered neutral and cannot be trusted.”

ChatGPT, which is developed by OpenAI, insisted in January that nobody named Charlie Kirk was ever assassinated and declared no credible evidence or reporting could substantiate such a claim, according to the MRC.

That same month, the MRC reported that Claude, which is developed by Anthropic, rejected the notion that AI should directly incorporate the US First Amendment into its policies.
