The latest advancements in artificial intelligence, exemplified by state-of-the-art technologies such as ChatGPT, are paving the way for groundbreaking innovations and novel applications across various industries.
These advances hold immense potential to boost productivity and stimulate creativity by revolutionizing the way we interact with information. However, they also highlight concerns about potential biases embedded within AI systems. These biases may inadvertently shape users’ perceptions, propagate misinformation and influence societal norms, posing challenges to the ethical deployment of AI technologies.
Not long after its launch, I explored ChatGPT's (January version) potential political biases by subjecting it to a variety of political orientation assessments. These evaluations are quizzes crafted to determine an individual's political ideology based on their responses to a collection of politically-charged questions.
