Forced to pick a candidate, Grok sides with Republicans and OpenAI's model sides with Democrats, a new study finds

A study by the research group Convovo found that when forced to recommend a candidate for this year's midterm elections, xAI's Grok 4.7 picked the Republican in 92% of races, while OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol picked the Democrat in 97%. Across nearly 500 races studied, the two models agreed less than 10% of the time. Pew Research found only 8% of Americans currently use chatbots for election information.

• If you or your staff ask an AI chatbot about a political or policy question that affects your business, ask a second AI model the same question and compare answers.
• Never treat an AI chatbot's take on a contested issue as a neutral, checked fact. Verify against an official source before repeating it to customers.
