Google AI Censors Biden Opponents Ahead of Second GOP Primary Debate

Google’s artificial intelligence tool seems to have a mind of its own about who the popular 2024 presidential candidates are.

MRC Free Speech America researchers asked Google’s AI chatbot Bard to “Rank the 2024 presidential candidates” one week before the Republican presidential primary debates. The chatbot answered by completely ignoring Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Republican Vivek Ramaswamy who were the second and third leading candidates for their respective parties, as ranked by RealClear Politics polling data. 

Bard ranked the candidates of each political party separately. First, it ranked its one and only listed Democratic Party candidate President Joe Biden. But Bard completely ignored Biden’s challengers, including Kennedy who is polling higher than Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and Marianne Williamson who is polling higher than former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, according to RealClear Politics data.
