"The Electoral Commission has called for new legal controls over misinformation from AI chatbots, after a thinktank found they had made serious mistakes during the recent Scottish election.
The thinktank Demos said its investigation had found that AI services gave voters misinformation to 34% of the questions it posed"
I'd love to see what that misinformation was telling folk. I'd make a bet that none of it was encouraging people to vote for anything left of the far right
@simon_brooke it's nice to see the Electoral Commission waking up and remembering it has a job. Pity they're wasting time on something impossible to regulate because of both jurisdiction and the mathematical impossibility of making LLMs know the difference between information and misinformation.
Maybe they could take a look at "Independent Green Voice" if they want to ease themselves into being useful.
LLM chatbots ought to be banned entirely. Period.
