Don’t use AI to tell you how to vote in election, says Dutch watchdog
Data protection authority says chatbots are ‘clearly biased’, as Netherlands prepares for national poll
AI chatbots are “unreliable and clearly biased” when offering voting advice, the Dutch data protection authority (AP) has said, warning of a threat to democracy eight days before national elections.
The four chatbots tested by the AP “often end up with the same two parties, regardless of the user’s question or command”, the authority said in a report ahead of the 29 October election.
