A major new study by 22 public service media organizations, including DW, has found that four of the most commonly used AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory.

Journalists from a range of public service broadcasters, which also included the BBC (UK) and NPR (USA), evaluated the responses of four AI assistants, or chatbots – ChatGPT, Microsoft's Copilot, Google's Gemini and Perplexity AI.
