Study: AI chatbots actively encouraging conspiracy theories
A study by the Digital Media Research Center found that AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok) often fail to debunk conspiracy theories, instead presenting them as plausible alternatives. When asked about debunked claims (e.g., CIA involvement in JFK’s assassination, 9/11 inside jobs, or election fraud), most chatbots engaged in “bothsidesing”—offering false narratives alongside facts without clear refutation.

Mind-reading AI breakthrough: Scientists decode thoughts without brain implants, but privacy concerns mount
Researchers have developed AI that translates brain activity (via fMRI scans) into readable text without implants, raising concerns about mental privacy erosion and unprecedented surveillance.
