Using AI to Tackle Thanksgiving Conspiracies

A recent study explored the potential of AI chatbots to help debunk conspiracy theories by engaging believers in conversations that present factual evidence. The study, involving over 2000 participants, found that AI could effectively challenge and change some conspiracy beliefs, with an average belief reduction of 20%. The AI's ability to provide context and information without the emotional stakes of human interaction was key to its success. However, concerns remain about AI's potential to generate false information, though the study found minimal inaccuracies in the chatbot's responses.
