A poll has shown that most Americans do not trust information about elections that is generated by artificial intelligence.

A majority of Americans do not consider AI to be reliable when it comes to election information.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans lack trust in AI-generated predictions, according to a poll released Thursday by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and USAFacts.

Over 60% of survey respondents expressed doubt about the accuracy of election information provided by AI chatbots.

While 43% of survey respondents believe AI programs will make it harder to find accurate information about the presidential election, just 16% said they would make it easier.

Large language model computer programs called AI chatbots enable users to obtain information by using conversational command prompts. Users can inquire through text input, and the bot will respond in a similarly conversational manner.

While some successful chatbots rely on vast amounts of data to generate responses, they lack the ability to think and reason like humans.

Malicious actors can use AI programs to spread disinformation in addition to the factual errors commonly made by chatbots.

In the AP-NORC poll, 52% of respondents expressed concern about AI's impact on their access to verifiable data, while only 9% were excited about its growing role in information dissemination.

AI programs are becoming increasingly capable of generating realistic images of real-world individuals, with manufactured images of former President Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris and others being common on social media.

The AP-NORC poll was conducted between July 29 and Aug 8, with a self-reported margin of error of +/- 4%.
