The AI you use every day is biased — and it’s quietly shaping your worldview, new report says
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Artificial intelligence has quickly become part of everyday life, helping people search for information, complete schoolwork, and make decisions. But what many users don’t realize is that AI systems are not neutral. They are shaped by hidden design choices that influence how they respond — and, ultimately, how people think.
The concern is not just theoretical. A recent Fox News Digital report highlighted the controversy surrounding Google’s Gemini chatbot after the system identified multiple Republican senators as violating its hate speech policies — while naming no Democrats.
The findings, based on a prompt evaluating all 100 U.S. senators, raised fresh questions about whether AI systems can reflect ideological assumptions embedded in their training data and design.

That episode is not an isolated case.
A new report from America First Policy Institute (AFPI) reveals that many AI systems consistently lean in particular ideological directions.
These biases can affect how political issues, social topics and news sources are presented. Because users often trust AI as an objective tool, these subtle influences can shape opinions over time without users realizing it.
Matthew Burtell, a senior policy analyst for AI and Emerging Technology at AFPI, said the pattern appears across the industry — not just in isolated cases.
«What we found was a general ideological bias, not just in a particular model, but across the spectrum,» Burtell told Fox News Digital, adding that the models tend to lean center left.
The implications go beyond bias alone. Research shows that AI systems are not just reflecting viewpoints — they can actively influence them.
That combination — bias and persuasion — raises deeper concerns about AI’s role in shaping public opinion. «AI is persuasive and it also leans left,» Burtell said. «So if you combine these two things, it may certainly have an influence on people’s beliefs about different policies.»
Recent examples have fueled those concerns. OpenAI’s ChatGPT has faced criticism from some researchers who argue its responses on political and cultural issues can skew in a particular ideological direction, while Microsoft’s AI tools have drawn scrutiny for how they frame controversial topics and limit certain viewpoints.
Those concerns have been reflected in testing as well. In 2024, Fox News Digital evaluated several leading AI chatbots — including Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Copilot and Meta AI — to assess potential racial bias.

The report also raises serious safety concerns.
AI systems have, in some cases, engaged in harmful interactions — especially with younger users. Without clear transparency about how these systems are designed and what safeguards are in place, parents and users cannot make informed decisions about which platforms are safe.
To address these risks, the report calls for greater transparency from tech companies. This includes disclosing how systems are designed, what values they prioritize, how they are tested for bias and safety, and what incidents occur after deployment.

The goal is not to control what AI systems say, but to give the public enough information to evaluate them critically.
Ultimately, the report makes it clear that AI is not just a tool — it is a powerful force shaping how people access information and understand the world.

Without transparency, users remain in the dark about the biases embedded in these systems. And as AI becomes more influential, that lack of visibility may have far-reaching consequences for individuals and society alike.

The Kennedy Center board on Friday asked a federal appeals court to temporarily block a judge’s order requiring references to President Donald Trump’s name to be removed from the institution’s signage and official materials, as signage bearing Trump’s name remained visible on the building’s facade late Friday afternoon.
In an emergency motion filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the board requested both a stay pending appeal and an immediate administrative stay, arguing that physical changes to the building should not occur before appellate judges review the dispute.
The filing asks the court to issue an administrative stay by 7 p.m. Friday.
Fox News Digital observed Friday afternoon that Trump’s name remained mounted on the Kennedy Center facade as of 5:30 p.m. ET, with scaffolding erected around portions of the signage.
Earlier Friday, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper denied the board’s request to pause enforcement of his ruling while the appeal proceeds, finding that the defendants had not demonstrated either a likelihood of success on appeal or irreparable harm.

The Kennedy Center board argued in its emergency filing that removing and potentially reinstalling signage would force it to incur costs that could not be recovered if it ultimately prevails on appeal.
The board also argued that removing Trump’s name could impair fundraising efforts and create public confusion if the Center’s name changes again following a successful appeal. The motion further contends that the case raises significant questions regarding the board’s authority and whether Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, had standing to bring the lawsuit.
The latest filing stems from Cooper’s May 29 ruling that Congress, not the Kennedy Center board, has authority over the institution’s name. The judge ordered the removal of Trump’s name from physical signage, digital materials and official branding and directed the Center to comply within 14 days.
BOARD VOTES KENNEDY CENTER TO BE RENAMED ‘TRUMP-KENNEDY CENTER,’ LEAVITT SAYS

In a lengthy opinion, Cooper wrote that the Kennedy Center’s governing statute «makes crystal clear» that the institution is to be named for President John F. Kennedy and cannot be formally renamed through unilateral board action.
The judge concluded that Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name and that only Congress can change it.
The ruling came in a lawsuit brought by Beatty, who serves as an ex officio member of the Kennedy Center board.
Following the May 29 decision, Kennedy Center Vice President of Public Relations Roma Daravi said the board intended to appeal.

«We will review the decision carefully though the reality remains — the Center requires an urgent and significant restoration — a truth that even the plaintiff acknowledges,» Daravi told Fox News Digital at the time.
«With $257 million secured by President Trump and approved by Congress, the resources are in place, and we remain committed to pursuing every lawful avenue to ensure the Trump Kennedy Center is restored as a national cultural landmark for all Americans to enjoy.»
Beatty praised the ruling, saying in a statement that the Kennedy Center «belongs to the American people, not to Donald Trump.»
Trump’s name was added to the venue in December after a unanimous vote of the board. Signage bearing the president’s name was installed above the existing Kennedy Center lettering shortly afterward.

As of Friday afternoon, the appeals court had not publicly ruled on the emergency request, leaving unresolved whether Trump’s name would remain in place beyond the court-ordered compliance deadline.
The emergency appeal asks the D.C. Circuit to preserve the status quo while it considers the board’s broader appeal of Cooper’s ruling.
The White House and a representative for the Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Combustibles en Honduras: anuncian alivio a la población con una nueva reducción en precios de los carburantes
Los consumidores hondureños recibirán un alivio en sus bolsillos a partir del próximo lunes 15 de junio, luego de que la Secretaría de Energía oficializara una nueva estructura de precios que contempla rebajas en la mayoría de los combustibles comercializados en el país.
La medida estará vigente durante la semana comprendida entre el 15 y el 21 de junio y refleja una tendencia favorable para los derivados del petróleo, impulsada por el comportamiento de los precios internacionales del crudo.
De acuerdo con el ajuste anunciado por las autoridades, las reducciones oscilan entre los 2.15 y 2.45 lempiras por galón, dependiendo del tipo de combustible y la ciudad donde se comercialice.
En Tegucigalpa, la gasolina superior registrará una rebaja de 2.45 lempiras, por lo que su nuevo precio será de 139.53 lempiras por galón.
Por su parte, la gasolina regular disminuirá 2.27 lempiras y pasará a costar 129.13 lempiras por galón.
El queroseno también reflejará una importante reducción de 2.45 lempiras, ubicándose en 117.62 lempiras por galón.
Mientras tanto, el diésel experimentará una rebaja de 2.35 lempiras y se comercializará a 131.82 lempiras por galón.
En el caso del gas licuado de petróleo (GLP) de uso doméstico, las autoridades informaron que el precio permanecerá congelado en 249.62 lempiras gracias al subsidio gubernamental que continúa vigente.
Por otro lado, el GLP vehicular tendrá una disminución de 0.46 centavos, fijando su nuevo valor en 51.54 lempiras por galón.
La tendencia también se reflejará en San Pedro Sula, donde los consumidores se beneficiarán con reducciones similares en los principales carburantes.
La gasolina superior registrará una rebaja de 2.33 lempiras y tendrá un precio de 136.19 lempiras por galón.
La gasolina regular disminuirá 2.15 lempiras, estableciéndose en 125.80 lempiras por galón.
Asimismo, el queroseno reducirá su precio en 2.34 lempiras y se venderá a 114.26 lempiras por galón.
El diésel también registrará una baja de 2.22 lempiras, alcanzando un valor de 128.46 lempiras por galón.
En cuanto al GLP doméstico, el precio se mantendrá en 228.47 lempiras debido al mecanismo de subsidio implementado por el Gobierno.
El GLP vehicular, por su parte, experimentará una disminución de 0.46 centavos, ubicándose en 48.01 lempiras por galón.
Las variaciones semanales en los combustibles responden principalmente al comportamiento del mercado internacional del petróleo, ya que Honduras importa la totalidad de los derivados que consume.
Por esta razón, factores como la oferta global, conflictos geopolíticos, decisiones de los países productores y las fluctuaciones en los precios internacionales inciden directamente en los ajustes que se aplican en el mercado nacional.
Las rebajas anunciadas representan una noticia positiva para los sectores productivos y para los consumidores en general, especialmente en momentos en que los costos de transporte y distribución tienen un impacto directo en la economía familiar.
Transportistas, empresarios y consumidores suelen observar con atención estas variaciones, debido a que los combustibles influyen en el precio de numerosos bienes y servicios.
Las autoridades energéticas indicaron que continuarán monitoreando el comportamiento del mercado internacional para determinar los ajustes que correspondan en las próximas semanas.
Mientras tanto, los nuevos precios entrarán en vigencia a partir de las 6:00 de la mañana del lunes 15 de junio en todas las estaciones de servicio del país.
