A recent study by the Manhattan Institute has found that Wikipedia exhibits a quantifiable mild to moderate bias favoring liberal perspectives. The study indicates that Wikipedia articles are more likely to associate right-of-center U.S. politicians with negative sentiment, such as 'fear, anger, and disgust,' while left-of-center politicians are linked to more positive emotions like 'joy.' This bias could potentially influence AI systems trained on Wikipedia data. The findings were highlighted in a report published by The Daily Signal.
