New study finds AI chatbots can influence some Canadians to change their vote

This one just says “Vote Carney”

Study found Canadians were more likely to be swayed than Americans

Talking with an AI chatbot can successfully convince people to change their votes and could affect the outcome of future elections, according to a new study.

The study, which included 1,530 Canadians, also found that the chatbots had more success convincing Canadians to switch their votes than it did with Americans.

Gordon Pennycook, a Canadian and associate professor at Cornell University, said the study set out to discover how persuasive generative AI could be when it comes to politics.
