If one assumed that AI-generated texts were immune to human biases, that assumption would be proven false. A recent study by the Media Research Center exposed Google’s AI chatbot Gemini for its biased responses on America’s founding principles and documents, alongside references to the Communist Manifesto.
The study, timed perfectly for Independence Day, revealed how Gemini displayed anti-American sentiments in its responses to questions about celebrating the Fourth of July and America’s history. This bias was further highlighted through the chatbot’s refusal to acknowledge America’s exceptionalism and its attempts to undermine Judeo-Christian principles.

MRC’s research over several months showcased Gemini’s consistent left-wing bias, raising questions about the objectivity of Google’s AI creations. The responses provided by the chatbot not only disparaged American values but also downplayed the significance of key historical events like World War II.
Google’s previous apology for depicting White American patriots as Black only adds to the skepticism surrounding Gemini’s credibility. Despite promises of improvement, the chatbot continues to disseminate anti-American rhetoric and questionable comparisons between foundational American documents and ideologies like The Communist Manifesto.
The study serves as a cautionary tale, reminding readers of the underlying political biases present in AI technologies and urging skepticism towards platforms like Google. In a time where information control is a pertinent issue, it’s essential for individuals to question the reliability of AI-generated content and seek alternative sources for a more balanced perspective.
