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.

Who Would Chatbots Vote For? Political Preferences of ChatGPT and Gemini in the 2024 European Union Elections [0.0]
The research focused on the evaluation of political parties represented in the European Parliament across 27 EU Member States by these generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The results revealed a stark contrast: while Gemini mostly refused to answer political questions, ChatGPT provided consistent ratings. The study identified key factors influencing the ratings, including attitudes toward European integration and perceptions of democratic values.

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.

Demonstrations of the Potential of AI-based Political Issue Polling [0.0]
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.
