AI chatbots are feeding non-native English speakers inaccurate information about the election, community activists and researchers warn, creating a barrier for some voters ahead of the midterms.
The challenge — which leading AI companies say they’re working to address — is distinct from intentional disinformation campaigns that have plagued the internet for decades. Instead, some researchers and community leaders warn that voters prompting chatbots in non-English languages are unintentionally being fed inaccurate and ambiguous information — like whether they can vote by mail in their state — or overly literal translations that confuse electoral terms and lack context in various languages’ unique dialects.
But the end result, the activists said, could still be the same: Voters whose native language is not English are more vulnerable to incorrect information and excluded from the most reliable answers ahead of the midterms.
