I had a piece out last December covering two research studies that supports this: AI dialogue moves political opinions, including among committed partisans. In a Nature study, about 6 mins with a chatbot shifted likely Trump voters 3.9 points toward Harris on a 100-point scale (~4X the effect of traditional campaign ads) If a chatbot can pull partisans toward the opposing candidate, it can plausibly pull people toward the center. The persuasion that works is calm and evidence-based, not emotional. And social media and cable news are all about the emotional - feeding the outrage. The effect is robust at scale and across models. The Science study of nearly 77,000 participants across 19 LLMs and more than 700 political topics found that dense factual claims consistently shifted opinions. @Ethanoshi @AEICTSE @AEI aei.org/domestic-policy/tech…
AI Chatbots Are Reshaping Political Persuasion

AI Chatbots Are Reshaping Political Persuasion

Recent research suggests that AI chatbots are not merely passive sources of election information; they can actively shape voter attitudes in measurable and durable ways.

My latest post @AEItech looks at the @Meta settlement's contingent payment: $5B is withheld until states get YouTube/TikTok/Snap to agree to similar terms. If Meta negotiated this directly w/ competitors, it'd raise antitrust issues. So what if state facilitates collusion? 1/2
