Overview
- Releasing test results eight days before the vote, the Dutch Data Protection Authority said AI chatbots are unreliable and clearly biased as voting aids.
- In 56% of cases the tools pointed users to either the far-right Freedom Party (PVV) or the Labour–Green Left alliance, often regardless of the prompts.
- The watchdog found some parties, including the centre-right CDA, were almost never suggested even when user inputs matched their platforms.
- Officials tested four major chatbots without naming them and stressed the skew stems from how the systems operate rather than deliberate manipulation.
- The warning arrives with over 13 million eligible voters and polls showing PVV leading as GroenLinks–PvdA trails ahead of the Oct. 29 election.
