Meta accused of bias after AI chatbot fails to acknowledge Trump assassination attempt

In the run up to the presidential elections in the United States of America, Meta has come under fire after its AI chatbot inaccurately responded to queries about an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump saying it never occurred.

The tech giant was accused of being biased and suppressing information after users on X shared screenshots of their interactions with Meta AI. Some screenshots showed the AI claiming the failed assassination attempt was fictional, others said the generative AI model omitted Trump from a list of US presidents.
