Study Shows Grok Strongly Favors Republicans While GPT Backs Democrats in U.S. Elections

A new study by Cornell University researchers has found stark political polarization between two leading AI models when asked to recommend election candidates. In a test of nearly 500 races, Grok endorsed Republican candidates 92% of the time, while OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol recommended Democrats in 97% of cases—disagreeing on more than 90% of all matchups examined.
