Many Quebec voters got false election information from chatbot, MPs hear
A Parliamentary committee heard that Canadians received inaccurate election information from chatbots.
McGill political scientist Aengus Bridgman estimated that 40 percent of Quebec voters used AI chatbots for election answers.
Bridgman said blocked access to most Quebec news outlets prevented chatbots from providing the most current information.
McGill’s Taylor Owen said 39 percent of ChatGPT’s voting advice during the election’s final three weeks came from an error-filled, AI-built hobby website.
