New research suggests that AI chatbots like ChatGPT can persuade roughly one out of every 25 people to change who they’re going to vote for — with one major caveat. To analyze the potential for AI chatbots to sway voters’ minds, the researchers recruited more than 2,000 voting-aged US citizens sit down to talk to either a pro-Donald Trump or pro-Kamala Harris bot.
