ParliView project@parliview.bsky.social · 4w agoEarlier this year, we asked Scottish residents' opinions towards AI in politics. It turns out, they really don't like it when politicians use AI. Young people, the heaviest users, are most likely to distrust it. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp... @strathplacelab.bsky.social @parliview.bsky.social

AI chatbots –ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc. – are becoming part of everyday life, but we know very little about whether & how citizens use these tools to gain political information. Ahead of Holyrood elections, we surveyed over 1,000 Scottish voters with @Survation.bsky.social. Here’s what we found 🧵
