Geopolitical Divisions Across Languages in Large Language Models

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The study examines how language influences AI chatbot responses to questions about the war in Ukraine, revealing that the same AI systems (GPT, Claude, Gemini) produce varying political stances across 112 languages. By evaluating 20 statements in 112 languages, the researchers found that Russia‑leaning versus Ukraine‑leaning answers differ by language, mirroring global political attitudes such as public support for Russia, UN voting patterns, and aid levels. This pattern persists across all three models and even when specific statement pairs are removed, suggesting that information warfare could embed geopolitical biases into AI training data.

Global Crises and National Policies: A Large Scale Analysis of Political Content in German Language Online Media

The study analyzes millions of German-language online articles and tweets from 2019–2022 to uncover political biases using automated text analysis. It finds that international events such as the COVID‑19 pandemic and the Ukraine war create thematic convergence between German and Swiss media, while domestic policy differences drive divergence in locally focused topics. Newspapers maintain more stable political content, whereas Twitter shows rapid, event‑driven spikes, illustrating how media platforms differ in intensity and timing.
