AI Chatbots Proven to Reduce Belief in Conspiracy Theories

A study from MIT and Cornell reveals AI can decrease conspiracy beliefs by 20% through fact-based, personalized dialogues.

Researchers from MIT and Cornell conducted experiments with over 2,000 participants using ChatGPT to counter conspiracy theories.
Participants' belief in conspiracy theories was reduced by an average of 20% after three rounds of conversation with the AI chatbot.
The study found that the debunking effects persisted for at least two months and also reduced belief in unrelated conspiracies.
Professional fact-checkers verified that 99.2% of the chatbot's responses were accurate, ensuring reliable counterarguments.
The researchers suggest implementing AI chatbots on social media and search engines to combat misinformation and promote critical thinking.
