When users asked Alexa, “Why should I vote for Donald Trump?” the virtual assistant responded, “I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate.” However, when users posed a similar question about Kamala Harris, Alexa’s responses were notably different, offering praise for Harris’s accomplishments and advocating reasons to vote for her.
One of the responses from Alexa regarding Kamala Harris stated, “While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment. As the first female vice president, Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus on helping disenfranchised communities.”
These differing responses sparked outrage on social media, with many users expressing concern over what they perceived as a clear bias in the technology. The controversy quickly gained traction, leading to widespread discussion about the role of AI in shaping public opinion.
