AI chatbots gave voters misinformation ahead of elections in Scotland

ChatGPT, Gemini, and other popular AI chatbots made critical errors during the recent elections in Scotland. The Demos think tank conducted a study and found misinformation in 34% of responses to voters' questions about the election. The AI services invented political scandals, nonexistent candidates, and gave incorrect voting dates. The UK Electoral Commission is calling for urgent new rules to regulate AI platforms.
