OpenAI's Impact: Over 2 Million People Consulted ChatGPT for 2024 Election
The Role of ChatGPT in the 2024 Presidential Election
OpenAI disclosed its findings that over 2 million individuals consulted ChatGPT regarding the 2024 election. In anticipation of the election, OpenAI took significant steps to combat election misinformation on its platform. Measures included banning impersonation of candidates and misrepresentation of voting processes, as well as promoting reliable sources such as CanIVote.org.
Actions Taken by OpenAI
- Digital watermarking of AI-generated images from DALL-E to distinguish them from real images.
- A partnership with the National Association of Secretaries of State to guide users towards verified voting information.
- One million ChatGPT responses directed users to CanIVote.org and rejected over 250,000 requests for deepfake content.
Post-Election Outcomes
On election day and immediately following, ChatGPT provided two million responses encouraging users to check reputable news outlets like Associated Press and Reuters for accurate election results. Despite these efforts, concerns lingered about the reliability of ChatGPT for sensitive voting-related queries, as reported by the Bipartisan Policy Center.
