My team fed chatbots election lies. Here’s what happened.; The Washington Post, August 25, 2026

 Lawrence Norden, The Washington Post; My team fed chatbots election lies. Here’s what happened.

"In the past few years, artificial intelligence models have developed rapidly, but they remain prone to error, raising concerns about their potential to spread election misinformation. So my colleagues and I decided to study popular chatbots to see if they would push back on election conspiracy theories or rebuff attempts to generate deceiving images, videos and audio. We have good and bad news."
