Chatbots' incorrect responses on US polls threaten to disenfranchise voters

With presidential primaries underway across the U.S., popular chatbots are generating false and misleading information that threatens to disenfranchise voters, according to a report published Tuesday based on the findings of artificial intelligence experts and a bipartisan group of election officials. Fifteen states and one territory will hold both Democratic and Republican presidential nominating contests next week on Super Tuesday, and millions of people already are turning to artificial intelligence -powered chatbots for basic information, including about how their voting process works. Trained on troves of text pulled from the internet, chatbots such as GPT-4 and Google's Gemini are ready with AI-generated answers, but prone to suggesting voters head to polling places that don't exist or inventing illogical responses based on rehashed, dated information, the report found. The chatbots are not ready for primetime when it comes to giving important, nuanced information about ...

Microsoft's new deal with France's Mistral AI comes under EU lens

The European Union is looking into Microsoft's partnership with French startup Mistral AI as part of its broader review of the booming generative artificial intelligence sector to see if it raises any competition concerns. The 27-nation bloc's executive commission said Tuesday in a brief statement that it's analyzing the agreement between the two companies announced a day earlier. Microsoft declined to comment. Mistral did not respond to a request for comment. Microsoft said Monday it was teaming up with Mistral through a 15 million euro ($16 million) investment in the French company, which emerged less than a year ago.

Consultant behind fake Biden robocalls says was trying to warn about AI

The political consultant behind a robocall that mimicked President Joe Biden's voice said Monday he was trying to send a wake-up call about the potential malign uses of artificial intelligence, not influence the outcome of last month's New Hampshire primary. Steve Kramer, in an interview days after he was publicly identified as the source of the calls, confirmed paying a New Orleans street magician $150 to create a recorded message that was sent to thousands of voters two days before the first-in-the-nation primary on Jan. 23. The messages played a voice similar to Biden's that used his phrase What a bunch of malarkey, and falsely suggested that voting in the primary would preclude voters from casting a ballot in November. Maybe I'm a villain today, but I think in the end we get a better country and better democracy because of what I've done, deliberately, Kramer said. New Hampshire authorities have been investigating the calls as a potential violation of the state's voter suppressi
