Die meisten KI geben fundierte und ausgewogene Politikempfehlungen, nur Elon Musks KI SuperGrok empfiehlt die AfD

Zusammenfassung:

18. Juni 2026 – Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) entwickelt sich für immer mehr Menschen rasant zu einer wichtigen, wenn nicht dominanten Informationsquelle – nicht nur im täglichen Leben, sondern auch bei politischen Informationen. Damit können KI-Chatbots die politische Meinungsbildung und womöglich auch die Wahlergebnisse in Demokratien erheblich beeinflussen. Aber wie politisch neutral sind KI-Chatbots? Basieren ihre Informationen auf den bestmöglichen Quellen und einer ausgewogenen Analyse? Oder werden sie von Eigentümern und Betreibern möglicherweise als Instrument politischer Einflussnahme genutzt? Die Analyse der Aussagen von fünf KI-Chatbots zur künftigen Bundesregierung und zur Landesregierung in Sachsen-Anhalt zeigen: Die Resultate von SuperGrok, dem Chatbot von Elon Musks xAI, unterscheiden sich stark und grundlegend von den Einschätzungen der anderen vier untersuchten Chatbots. Für knapp die Hälfte aller wirtschafts- und gesellschaftspolitischen Indikatoren bewertet SuperGrok die AfD – sowohl für Deutschland als auch für Sachsen-Anhalt – als die effektivste und erfolgreichste künftige Regierung, stützt sich dabei aber überwiegend auf AfD-Quellen. Dies deutet auf eine bewusste, wenn nicht sogar absichtliche Verzerrung hin.
