Knight and others observed that the AI tends to favor liberal narratives and suppress conservative or Republican-related content, raising concerns about bias influencing political discussions and elections. Research from academic institutions confirms that ChatGPT has a liberal bias, which experts warn could impact future elections, including the 2028 presidential race.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A top conservative communications and crisis strategy expert has discovered evidence that OpenAI\u2019s chat model, ChatGPT, is innately biased against Republicans and in favor of Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Erica Knight, the president of Knox Strategies and a longtime publicist and media adviser for FBI Director Kash Patel, stumbled on this disappointing discovery while testing the chatbot\u2019s features.<\/p>\n<p>Knight specifically wrote a generic promotional post about Vice President J.D.
