CDT study finds AI chatbots give inaccurate voting information to disabled voters

The Center for Democracy and Technology tested five AI chatbots on July 18, 2024 with 77 prompts about voting with a disability. They found that 61% of responses had at least one insufficiency, and over a third included incorrect information. Some responses could dissuade, impede or prevent a user from voting. The chatbots also hallucinated laws and organizations.
