America New study confirms ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude overly rely on progressive sources. E BY MATTHEW LYSIAK
lon musk was right. His warning that artifi cial intelligence would become “woke” and “politically cor-
rect” due to its reliance on left-lean- ing sources, which contain a mix of partial truths, ideological bias, and leftist misinformation, has become a reality.
Conservatives have long suspected
AI of liberal bias, but an Axios study published in July, which revealed the training methods of three AI lead- ers — ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude — highlighted their heavy reliance on left-leaning Wikipedia, along with other progressive outlets known for harboring far-left biases. The study confi rms that AI bias
may be more serious than previously thought, according to Bradley Smith, former Federal Election Commission chair.
“We can now say with certainty
that AI poses a built-in and clear threat, not only in how information is shared, but, perhaps more cru-

cially, in how these programs select and shape information to create a narrative by depending on these left- leaning sites,” Smith, who now serves as chairman of the Institute for Free Speech, told Newsmax. “We want search engines that are
generally infused with more Ameri- can values, openness, and truth — and right now, what is coming out has almost been the complete opposite,” he added. Additionally, a large-scale study
by data scientist David Rozado pub- lished this year tested 24 models on various political questions, including immigration, climate policy, and civil rights. The results were alarming: All but one of the models showed a clear left-leaning bias. Moreover another new study, by Stanford University’s Hoover Insti-
tution, found that all major large AI models display a leftist bias when responding to politically themed questions, consistently giving liberal- leaning answers on issues like immi- gration and climate change. For data analysts, the fi ndings
are unsurprising. When asked by the author which news sources it trusts most, ChatGPT, the leading AI, fi rst mentioned The New York Times, then The Washington Post, Reuters, The Associated Press, NPR, and the BBC, citing the BBC’s “global per- spective with relatively low bias; use- ful for international aff airs.” Notably missing is any source with a conserva- tive viewpoint. Furthermore, ChatGPT uses NewsGuard, a source of misinforma- tion that is widely discredited, as a fi lter to assess the trustworthiness of
AI models are trained on large amounts of text — billions of words from websites, books, and social media.
