The Netherlands’s data protection watchdog has cautioned citizens against consulting with artificial intelligence on how to vote, warning that popular chatbots provide a “highly distorted and polarised view” of politics.
The Dutch Data Protection Authority said on Tuesday that an increasing number of voters were using AI to help decide who to vote for, despite the models offering “unreliable and clearly biased” advice.

The watchdog issued the warning as it released the results of tests conducted on four popular chatbots – ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral, and Grok – in the run-up to parliamentary elections on October 29.
The research found that the chatbots more often recommended parties on the fringes of the political spectrum when asked to identify the three choices that best matched the policy preferences of 1, 500 fictitious voter profiles.
In more than half of cases, the AI models identified the hard-right Party for Freedom (PVV) or left-wing Green Left-Labour Party as the top choice, the watchdog said.
Parties closer to the political middle ground – such as the right-leaning People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy and the centre-left Democrats 66 – were recommended much less often, according to the watchdog.
Meanwhile, some groupings, including the conservative Christian Democratic Appeal and left-leaning Denk, were “almost never suggested”.
Monique Verdier, deputy chair of the authority, said that voters who turned to AI risked being encouraged to vote for parties that do not align with their preferences.
“This directly impacts a cornerstone of democracy: the integrity of free and fair elections. We therefore urge voters not to use AI chatbots for voting advice because their operation is neither transparent nor verifiable”, Verdier said in a statement.
“Additionally, we call on chatbot providers to prevent their systems from being used as voting guides”.
The October 29 election comes after the PVV, led by anti-immigration firebrand Geert Wilders, pulled its support for the government after its coalition partners refused to back a 10-point plan to radically curtail immigration.
Wilders’s PPV, which scored one of the biggest upsets in Dutch political history by winning the most seats in the 2023 election, has consistently led opinion polls before next week’s vote.
While the PPV is on track to win the most seats for a second straight election, it is all but certain to fall far short of a parliamentary majority.
In response to the flimsy ceasefire in the area, US President Donald Trump has made the suggestion that several Middle Eastern nations have offered to send forces to Gaza to combat Hamas. He has also reiterated his threats to the Palestinian organization.
On Tuesday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that “some of our NOW GREAT ALLIES in the Middle East, and areas surrounding the Middle East, have explicitly and strongly informed me that they would welcome the opportunity to enter GAZA with a heavy force and “righten our Hamas” if Hamas continues to act badly in violation of their agreement with us.

Trump didn’t specify which nations offered to enter Gaza, but he did mention Indonesia as a potential partner.
Trump praised Indonesia, a great and powerful nation, and its wonderful leader for all the support they have provided to the Middle East and the United States, according to Trump.
No nation has indicated that it would clash directly with Hamas, despite Jakarta and other governments’ offers to send peacekeeping troops to bring back stability and security in Gaza.
“This is the most incredible show of love and spirit for the Middle East in a thousand years!” It is stunning to see! I declared, “Not YET! !” to these nations and Israel. Hamas may continue to pursue its goals, according to the US president.
“Hamas will end in a hurry, finite, and brutal” if they don’t!
Since the ceasefire ended on October 10 and nearly 100 Palestinians have been killed by Israel.
Trump frequently threatens Hamas with the same kind. However, it is unclear what Israel’s ability as a US or any other force can do to strong-arm the Palestinian group.
In a genocide campaign, which led to the deaths of most of Hamas’ political and military leaders and was supported by Israel, leveling Gaza to the ground, and imposing famine on the area, according to leading rights groups and UN investigators.
Trump had hailed the ceasefire, which his administration had helped to broker, as a historic turning point for regional peace.
Israel has been killing Palestinians since the start of the truce, asserting that they were approaching unmarked areas under Israeli military control.
In addition, Israel has continued to restrict aid to Gaza despite promises made in the agreement that would have prompted an increase in humanitarian aid to the area.
Israel has only permitted the entry of 986 aid trucks since the start of the ceasefire, a fraction of the 6,600 trucks expected, at a rate of 600 per day, according to the Gaza Government Media Office.
Israel launched a series of airstrikes on Sunday that left the agreement at odds with it and completely curbed Gaza’s access to aid after two Israeli soldiers were killed in Rafah.
Hamas claimed responsibility for the troop deaths, but the Palestinian organization refuted any involvement, underscoring the fact that the incident occurred in a region under Israeli control.
The Israeli soldiers were killed after they crossed an unexploded ordnance, according to some US media reports.
Questions remain over Gaza’s long-term future, including how the territory will be administered, in addition to the everyday problems that threaten the truce.
Hamas must disarm, according to Trump, but the Palestinian organization has linked giving up its weapons to the establishment of a Palestinian state.
No precise date has been set for Hamas’ disarmament, Trump told Fox News on Sunday.
Prince Andrew may have stated that he no longer intends to use the title of Duke of York, but he still enjoys access to a stately mansion in Windsor Great Park.
Since the Queen Mother passed away and the King’s brother has taken over the seven-bedroom property, Royal Lodge, Andrew has resided there.
It’s been widely reported that for some time, King Charles has been trying to persuade his errant younger brother to move out of the opulent home – but his attempts have been in vain.
Andrew is showing no signs of budging from Royal Lodge, a home he shares with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, even though new reports show he he’s paid barely any rent rent on the property for years.

In 2003, Andrew signed a 75-year lease on the historic property, which paid him £1 million. However, his leasehold agreement, as seen by the Press Association, only calls for him to pay “one peppercorn” as rent “if required.”
The Crown Estate, from which he purchased the lease, would have to pay him £558, 000 if Andrew did consent to it, which Charles is said to have heavily encouraged.
The Crown Estate has obtained a copy of the lease from the press, and it is reported that he had to pay £7.5 million for the property’s “cast iron” renovations until 2078.
Due to allegations that he did not receive any significant inheritance from his mother, the late Queen, or his grandmother, the Queen Mother, it is unclear how Andrew manages the 30-room property.
Andrew was reportedly given a £1 million annual allowance by the late Queen when she was alive, but King Charles is said to have stopped this flow of income.
Andrew cannot be forced to leave the property because of the nature of the lease, but when Charles wanted Harry and Meghan out of a royal residence, he was spared such a challenge.
Harry and Meghan were given the lease on Frogmore Cottage by the late Queen Elizabeth when they got married, but in 2023 – after the release of Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare, which detailed allegations of private dysfunction in the House of Windsor – he was ordered to hand back the keys.
The Sussexes had, only months before the memoir’s publication, also released a self-titled documentary series for Netflix, which detailed their love story, the reasons behind their shock royal exit in 2020, and its fallout.
After returning as working royals and leaving the UK, the couple had refunded the Sovereign Grant’s £2.4 million spent on Frogmore renovations.
However, it appears unusual on the surface that Andrew has remained in his, beset by serious allegations that he has repeatedly and firmly refuted, while their royal property was taken from them as a result of internal family conflict.
The question of why Charles seemed to be able to evict Harry and Meghan but he seemed unable to change his younger brother’s behavior seems to be the kind of lease in question.
The Duke and Duchess moved into Frogmore in 2019 and had renewed their lease a year before their unceremonious eviction, according to a report from March 2022. This suggests that their lease for the property was less restrictive than Andrew’s’ with the Crown Estate’s.
The couple, who were not planning to move back to the UK permanently, are said to have desired to maintain a base in Harry’s native country, and Frogmore was one of the protection options available to royal homes in Windsor.
When Harry and Meghan left their jobs as working royals, their automatic police security was removed, so Frogmore provided a safe haven for the young family if they came over. They also used it prior to their eviction, which is said to have occurred shortly after Harry’s memoir was published.
Royal author Omid Scobie said at the time the eviction was made public: “Just five minutes walk from Windsor Castle, and ensconced within the Metropolitan Police-led ring of steel surrounding the Windsor Estate, the couple’s British home has become Prince Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet’s only sufficiently secure refuge in the country since their access to armed police protection was taken away in 2020.”
According to a couple friend, “It all feels very final and like a cruel punishment… The family seems to want to permanently remove them from the picture.
The Sussexes reportedly paid Frogmore Cottage’s owners a sizable upfront rent while also covering the cost of the property’s renovation.
Harry wrote in his memoir about the allegations made against his uncle Andrew, and the fact that the King’s brother had kept his security for some time despite their serious nature, which contrasted with the swift decision made about the Sussexes.
He explained to Meghan that he had told her that he thought there was no way for Andrew’s police security to be compromised because he had not been when he had left his position as a prince in 2019.
