Voters Are Increasingly Using AI Chatbots to Fact-Check and Compare Candidates
Pew Research Center says about half of American adults have used AI chatbots, and voters are using them to compare candidates and verify claims.
- Adam Johnson, 40, of Morgantown, West Virginia, is using ChatGPT to research midterm election candidates instead of discussing races with friends or family. Johnson is one of many voters turning to AI-powered chatbots for ballot guidance.
- According to the Pew Research Center, about 42 percent of American adults now use AI-powered chatbots to search for information. Many voters rely on chatbots for down-ballot races with thinner news coverage.
- Experts warn that chatbots act as 'people pleasers' that reinforce existing biases. "It might select some things that would reinforce and persuade you even more towards the way that you were leaning already," said Rafael Batista, a fellow at John Hopkins University.
- Lakshmi Iyer, 50, developed Ballot Lookup to inform Pennsylvania voters about candidates' stances. Iyer emphasizes that while AI is capable, "the human in the loop is absolutely essential" to maintain accuracy.
- Amid concerns over political entanglements, OpenAI's president donated $25 million to a Donald Trump Super PAC in 2025. The company maintains it continues to "monitor bias in our models to keep ChatGPT's responses politically neutral.
