AI Chatbots Reduce Conspiracy Beliefs

Researchers from MIT and Cornell University have developed an AI chatbot capable of reducing individuals' belief in conspiracy theories. The chatbot engages users in personalized conversations, addressing specific misconceptions and providing factual information. In a study involving 1,000 participants, those who interacted with the chatbot showed a significant decrease in conspiracy beliefs compared to a control group. This approach highlights the potential of AI in combating misinformation and promoting critical thinking. Organizations should consider integrating similar AI-driven tools to enhance information accuracy and public trust.
