Majority of Americans Distrust AI-Generated Election Information

A new poll reveals widespread skepticism about the reliability of AI tools in providing factual election data.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans lack confidence in AI-generated election information, according to a survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and USAFacts.
Approximately 43% of respondents believe AI will complicate the search for accurate election information, while only 16% think it will help.
The poll highlights that AI chatbots are the least trusted source of election information, with only 8% believing their results are often factual.
Concerns over AI's role in spreading misinformation have been exacerbated by reports of foreign influence campaigns using AI-generated content.
Efforts have been made to mitigate AI-related misinformation, including changes to the chatbot on the social media platform X, directing users to verified sources.
