- Abstract: Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) disrupts how humans interact with
technology. Recently, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art dialogue
model that can converse with its human counterparts with unprecedented
capabilities. ChatGPT has witnessed tremendous attention from the media,
academia, industry, and the general public, attracting more than a million
users within days of its release. However, its explosive adoption for
information search and as an automated decision aid underscores the importance
to understand its limitations and biases. This paper focuses on one of
democratic society's most important decision-making processes: political
elections. Prompting ChatGPT with 630 political statements from two leading
voting advice applications and the nation-agnostic political compass test in
three pre-registered experiments, we uncover ChatGPT's pro-environmental,
left-libertarian ideology. For example, ChatGPT would impose taxes on flights,
restrict rent increases, and legalize abortion. In the 2021 elections, it would
have voted most likely for the Greens both in Germany (B\"undnis 90/Die
Gr\"unen) and in the Netherlands (GroenLinks). Our findings are robust when
negating the prompts, reversing the order of the statements, varying prompt
formality, and across languages (English, German, Dutch, and Spanish). We
conclude by discussing the implications of politically biased conversational AI
on society.

Information? [39.58317527488534]
This article presents a comparative analysis of the ability of two large language model (LLM)-based chatbots, ChatGPT and Bing Chat, to detect veracity of political information.
We use AI auditing methodology to investigate how chatbots evaluate true, false, and borderline statements on five topics: COVID-19, Russian aggression against Ukraine, the Holocaust, climate change, and LGBTQ+ related debates.
The results show high performance of ChatGPT for the baseline veracity evaluation task, with 72 percent of the cases evaluated correctly on average across languages without pre-training.

Controversial topics, such as "religion", "gender identity", "freedom of speech", and "equality", can be a source of conflict.
By exposing ChatGPT to such debatable questions, we aim to understand its level of awareness and if existing models are subject to socio-political and/or economic biases.

We develop a prompt engineering methodology for eliciting human-like survey responses from ChatGPT.
We execute large scale experiments, querying for thousands of simulated responses at a cost far lower than human surveys.
We find ChatGPT is effective at anticipating both the mean level and distribution of public opinion on a variety of policy issues.
But it is less successful at anticipating demographic-level differences.
