Concerns are growing over the impact of AI-generated content on election integrity, especially as more than 50 countries are set to hold national elections this year. With presidential primaries already underway across the U.S., a new study highlights the risks posed by AI chatbots, which have been found to disseminate false, misleading, or harmful information to voters. These inaccuracies include incorrect responses about election procedures and suggesting non-existent polling places, potentially disenfranchising voters. AI models, specifically Claude, Gemini, GPT-4, Llama 2, and Mixtral, responded incorrectly a majority of the time. Election officials and tech experts have raised alarms, labeling this year as the first 'AI election' and questioning the readiness of chatbots for such a critical role.
