Three of the world’s four leading artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are more likely to fall for political falsehoods from the left than the right, while frequently backing their answers with sources that don’t support their claims or don’t exist, according to a comprehensive new study.

The study, conducted by Just Facts, tested paid versions of ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Claude using 100 questions on immigration, abortion, climate change, elections, crime, gun control, COVID-19 and other key issues. The questions were "designed to elicit falsehoods" from the left and the right, with each chatbot required to provide sources for its answers.

The study found ChatGPT correctly answered 94% of questions designed to elicit falsehoods from the right, compared with 75% from the left. Gemini scored 91% on the right and 76% on the left, while Claude scored 91% on the right and 81% on the left.

Grok moved in the opposite direction, scoring 73% on questions designed to elicit falsehoods from the right and 84% on those from the left, according to the study.

"This study goes a lot deeper than political bias," Jim Agresti, president of the nonprofit research institute Just Facts, told Fox News Digital.

"It is meant to show how often these AIs are propagating misinformation. Now, you can be biased without being misinformed. This is a much deeper study because many studies have been done on AI political bias, and they uniformly find that they're biased to the left.

"ChatGPT was effectively a C student," Agresti said.
"Gemini was a C student.
Claude was a B student.
Grok, on the other hand, was the reverse. It was better at vetting falsehoods from the left than the right."
