Researchers warned ChatGPT’s bias could “amplify the existing challenges involving political processes.”
Academics from the University of East Anglia tested ChatGPT by asking the chatbot to answer a series of political questions as if it were a Republican, a Democrat, or without a specified leaning. The responses were then compared and mapped according to where they land on the political spectrum.
“We find robust evidence that ChatGPT presents a significant and systematic political bias toward the Democrats in the US, Lula in Brazil, and the Labour Party in the UK,” the researchers said, referring to the left-leaning Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
“These results translate into real concerns that ChatGPT, and [large language models] in general, can extend or even amplify the existing challenges involving political processes posed by the Internet and social media,” the researchers added.Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is pictured.The existence of bias is just one area of concern in the development of ChatGPT and other advanced AI tools.
“Our guidelines are explicit that reviewers should not favor any political group,” the blog post said. “Biases that nevertheless may emerge from the process described above are bugs, not features.”
