This report from UK think tank the Centre for Policy Studies examines the political bias within popular AI-powered Large Language Models (LLMs).

‘The Politics of AI’ is a new report from New Zealand-based academic David Rozado which examines the political bias within popular AI-powered Large Language Models (LLMs).

The report found left-leaning political bias displayed in almost every category of question asked by 23 of the 24 LLMs tested. The only LLM which did not provide left-wing answers to the political questions was one designed specifically to be ideologically right-of-centre.

‘The Politics of AI’ is the first report of its kind to focus on a UK and EU context. Much existing research on chatbots’ potential political bias focuses on the US – examining topics like gun control or the death penalty – findings which are of limited use to other countries’ political contexts.
