News summary

Recent studies have found that AI chatbots, specifically those built on large language models like GPT-4, can effectively reduce belief in conspiracy theories. In experiments involving over 2,000 participants, personalized dialogues with AI bots led to a significant reduction in conspiratorial beliefs, with some participants reducing their belief by about 20% and even disavowing them entirely. These findings challenge the conventional wisdom that conspiracy beliefs are impervious to change and highlight the potential of AI as a tool to combat misinformation. The success of these interventions is attributed to the AI's ability to provide tailored, fact-based counterarguments that address specific evidence cited by conspiracy believers. Researchers suggest that this approach may offer a new way to mitigate the spread of harmful misinformation and support critical thinking.
