What is Political bias in AI?
Political bias in AI measures where the major AI models stand on charged questions about politics, economics, speech and society. We ask every model the same open question bank many times over, with web search off, classify each answer with a cheap neutral model, and plot the result with error bars and the raw answers behind every point.
How is this different from other AI political bias projects?
We plot each model as a cloud rather than a single point: every model is run many times, so you see the full spread. We publish our own open question bank with scoring weights, tag each item as factual or values-based, measure run-to-run stability, and count refusals as data. Everything is stamped, versioned and downloadable.
Do you test the model or the internet?
The weights. Web search is off by default, so the reading reflects what the model itself leans toward, independent of what is online. A separate, deliberately small Border Test turns search on to measure how retrieval shifts answers by location.
Is Political bias in AI partisan?
No. It is descriptive rather than prescriptive: it reports what the models said, without ruling on who is right. The palette is deliberately not US red and blue, and we never imply which pole is good.
