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.

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi hails Trump admin’s ‘justice and transparency’ on Epstein files
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi, who spoke before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Friday, stood behind the Trump administration’s work releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to a copy of her prepared opening remarks obtained by Fox News Digital.
«Before we start today, I want to reiterate what I have said many times regarding the Department’s handling during my tenure as Attorney General of the voluminous materials that are now commonly known as the Epstein Files,» she told the committee, according to the document.
«I am proud of the Department’s record and commitment to transparency under my leadership. We demonstrated an unprecedented commitment to transparency in the Department’s search for, collection, and review of the Epstein files, producing nearly 3 million pages of material, including thousands of videos and hundreds of thousands of images,» Bondi asserted.
Bondi has since departed from the Capitol following her voluntary transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee, Fox News has learned. Friday’s interview was transcribed, though not video recorded.

«These investigations span FOUR administrations, dating back to the Bush administration and have gone on through the Obama administration, the first Trump administration, and the Biden administration. The only time federal prosecutors were permitted to launch investigations against Epstein and Maxwell was when President Trump occupied the White House. Only under President Trump were 3 million Epstein related documents released,» Bondi said, according to her prepared remarks.
The former attorney general further described «an enormously complicated and labor-intensive process.»
«To the best of my knowledge, the Department produced everything required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Our diligent and good faith effort to collect materials ensured that all potentially responsive documents that could be reasonably located would see the light of day,» she noted, according to the copy of her remarks.
«All Department components were directed to submit any potentially responsive records, resulting in a comprehensive review of millions of documents. As the head of a large Department with broad responsibilities, I did not lead every aspect of this effort or conduct that document review myself. I delegated oversight over this process to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche,» Bondi continue.
Blanche was appointed acting attorney general on April 2 after President Donald Trump announced Bondi’s departure. He is not considered Bondi’s permanent replacement as head of the DOJ.

Bondi told the committee on Friday that «the team of professionals who reviewed all of the materials that we collected assured me the only materials that were withheld were either non-responsive, privileged, or duplicative.»
«Although not required by the Act, the Department has given Congress access to unredacted, duplicative materials in the Reading Room in an effort at maximum transparency,» Bondi said.
«There were redaction errors,» she continued. «But since day one of this process, this Department has been committed to accountability and transparency. Our stance has always been that the Department stands ready to review any potential evidence of criminal activity related to Epstein and his associates and would pursue appropriate investigative or prosecutorial action wherever the facts and law warrant.»

«I would like to repeat what I shared before the House Judiciary Committee in February: I have spent my entire career fighting for victims and I will continue to do so. I am deeply sorry for what any victim has been through, especially as a result of that monster. If they have any information to share with law enforcement about anyone who has hurt them or abused them, the FBI is waiting to hear from them,» Bondi’s opening statement said.

«The bottom line is: justice and transparency in this matter have been delivered at the direction of President Trump and his administration,» she asserted.
Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after departing the Department of Justice last month, according to reports this week. Katie Miller, a former White House staffer and podcast host who is married to White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, reposted an Axios report on X on Tuesday.
«Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s ass the last few weeks,» she wrote.

Mundial de Fútbol 2026: 42 expertos en infectología advierten que la vacunación es la mejor defensa para los hinchas viajeros
El Mundial de Fútbol 2026 arranca el 11 de junio y, por primera vez en la historia, tres países organizan juntos el torneo: Canadá, Estados Unidos y México. Son 48 selecciones, 16 ciudades sede y millones de personas de todo el mundo que se van a mezclar en estadios, aeropuertos y zonas de fanáticos durante más de un mes.
Cuando tantas personas se juntan en un mismo lugar, los riesgos de transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas también suben.
En el último artículo editorial de la revista especializada Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, 42 expertos en infectología y medicina del viajero de Perú, Colombia, Argentina, México y Brasil, entre otros países, advirtieron sobre los principales riesgos sanitarios del torneo y pusieron en el tope de la lista una enfermedad que muchos creían superada: el sarampión.
En diálogo con Infobae, el médico Alfonso Rodríguez-Morales, vicepresidente de la Alianza Latinoamericana de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica (ALEIMC) y coautor del artículo, afirmó que “si bien los riesgos de transmisión de infecciones existen, queremos promover que las personas tomen medidas de prevención antes del viaje. También alentamos que se fortalezca la vigilancia activa entre las fronteras”.
El sarampión es una enfermedad viral que se transmite por el aire y provoca fiebre alta, sarpullido y, en casos graves, complicaciones neurológicas o pulmonares.
América la había eliminado, pero en noviembre de 2025 la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS) confirmó que la región perdió ese logro: el virus volvió a circular de forma sostenida y sin interrupciones. El detonante no fue uno solo.
Durante la pandemia de COVID-19, millones de niños no accedieron a las vacunas por diferentes razones y nunca las recuperaron. A eso se sumó el crecimiento de la desconfianza hacia las vacunas en varios países, lo que dejó a poblaciones enteras en riesgo de exposición al virus.
El resultado es visible en los números: en 2026, los tres países sede del Mundial ya acumulan más de 20.000 casos de sarampión, y 15 de las 16 ciudades donde se juegan partidos tienen brotes activos.
No es casualidad que los expertos lo pongan en el tope de la lista de riesgos. “El sarampión tiene un índice de reproducción alto y por eso la inmunización de la población es clave. Esto significa que cada persona enferma puede contagiar a más de 3 personas si no hay inmunidad previa en la población”, explicó a Infobae el médico infectólogo Cristian Biscayart, coautor y miembro de la Sociedad Argentina de Infectología (SADI).
Por su parte, Carlos Espinal, investigador del Colegio Robert Stempel de Salud Pública y Trabajo Social de la Universidad Internacional de Florida, en Miami, Estados Unidos, señaló a Infobae: «Debemos preocuparnos por el sarampión debido a la epidemia y al número alto de casos en los tres países sedes del Mundial de Fútbol, además de los brotes en Europa y en el resto de países de América Latina».
“Adicionalmente, tenemos un resurgimiento de la tos ferina en el continente y debemos también tener estrategias para identificar rápidamente ante posibles casos de ébola provenientes de África. El 17 de mayo de 2026, la Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró a la epidemia de ébola una emergencia de salud pública de importancia internacional”, afirmó Espinal, quien también fue coautor.
El sarampión no es el único riesgo. Las infecciones respiratorias, como gripe y COVID-19, también se transmiten con facilidad en espacios cerrados y llenos de personas.
La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) ya advirtió sobre una variante del virus de la gripe o influenza A H3N2 que tuvo transmisión sostenida en Norteamérica durante la temporada 2025-2026.
Otra amenaza frecuente y menos mencionada es la diarrea del viajero. Bacterias como la Salmonella o la Escherichia coli pueden ingresar al organismo por el consumo de agua o comida contaminada, y el riesgo sube cuando los servicios de alimentación atienden a miles de personas al mismo tiempo.
Lavarse las manos con frecuencia, tomar agua embotellada y evitar alimentos crudos o mal cocidos son las medidas más simples y más efectivas.
En México se agrega otro factor: la presencia de mosquitos, según los expertos. El dengue, el Zika y el chikungunya, que son enfermedades que provocan fiebre, dolores articulares intensos y, en algunos casos, complicaciones graves, siguen en expansión en América.
El repelente adecuado según la edad, la ropa que cubre el cuerpo y los alojamientos con mosquiteros o aire acondicionado son la mejor barrera, de acuerdo con los expertos.
Tras hacer un análisis de la situación de riesgos, los expertos afirmaron en el artículo editorial: “Fortalecer la cobertura de vacunación, mejorar la vigilancia, promover la educación preventiva y fomentar la colaboración internacional serán fundamentales para minimizar el riesgo de enfermedades infecciosas durante este evento deportivo sin precedentes”.
Se debería consultar al médico entre 4 y 8 semanas antes del viaje para revisar el esquema de vacunación, no el día antes de tomar el avión.
Las vacunas prioritarias son la triple viral (que da protección contra sarampión, paperas y rubéola), la de la gripe, la del COVID-19, y las de hepatitis A y B.
“Todos las personas que viajen deben constatar que tienen dos dosis de vacuna doble o triple viral”, enfatizó en diálogo con Infobae la médica Susana Lloveras, coautora y ex-presidente de la Sociedad Latinoamericana de Medicina del Viajero (SLAMVI).
Varias de estas enfermedades tienen períodos de incubación (el tiempo que pasa entre el momento del contagio y la aparición de los síntomas) más largos que un vuelo de regreso a casa. Por eso, una persona podría contagiarse un patógeno en el estadio, cruzar la frontera sin ningún síntoma y enfermarse recién días después, ya en su país.
