I’ve written about the danger of assuming AI information is correct and devoid of politics or prejudice.
But nothing I’ve written is anything near the value of Pierre Rehov’s article for The Gatestone Institute, titled “Who Verifies Artificial Intelligence? When AI Learns Jew-Hate”.
Here, from the article’s summation, are the points it details:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is quietly replacing the institutions through which the West once transmitted knowledge. Students who a generation ago consulted teachers and libraries now consult with often extremely unreliable chatbots.
- After submitting OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini and Meta’s Llama to more than 34,000 queries about Jews, Israel, the Holocaust and antisemitic tropes, a March 2025 study by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of the four leading large language models (LLMs) found measurable anti-Jewish and anti-Israel bias in every model tested.
- Whatever humanity has written in sufficient volume, the machine absorbs, including its pathologies. If enough people write that the Earth is flat, AI will tell you that the Earth is flat.
- The contradictions never matter: the accusations are never sustained by evidence in the first place. Repetition keeps them alive, and repetition is precisely what the modern information ecosystem industrializes.
- The enormity and volume of that repetition would have been unimaginable to earlier generations. Iranian state media, Russian influence operations, China’s gargantuan, poisonous TikTok, Hamas media outlets, Holocaust-denial platforms and legions of anonymous accounts produce a continuous stream of fabrication surrounding Israel and the Jewish people.
- A debunked falsehood does not vanish; it settles into thousands of web pages and waits there, inside the corpus from which the next generation of AI frontier models will “learn.”
- A machine has no concept of propaganda. It recognizes statistical regularities, and a lie repeated across a sufficient share of its training data acquires the weight of a fact. An answer about the Arab-Israeli conflict can therefore appear scrupulously balanced while quietly granting credibility to claims manufactured by a state disinformation service. What emerges carries the appearance of judgment but the substance of arithmetic.
- [A] parallel ADL investigation… identified at least 30 senior editors at Wikipedia who coordinated for a decade to reshape entries on Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict, stripping citations to peer-reviewed research on Palestinian terrorism, burying Hamas’s designation as a terrorist organization and recasting Zionism as a colonial land grab, while the Arabic-language edition of Wikipedia openly glorifies the perpetrators of October 7. Wikipedia’s own arbitration committee has since banned some editors from the entire topic area, a tacit admission of the manipulation.
- The source from which artificial intelligence learns history is resolutely being rewritten by terror-supporting militants in real time: every model trained tomorrow will inherit today’s falsifications as settled fact.
- A joint study by the United Nations and UNESCO found that roughly one-sixth of Holocaust-related content on major platforms denies or distorts the facts…
- AI answers arrive coherent, articulate and serenely assured. Users assume they have been verified, when even the most advanced systems still hallucinate, contradict themselves and err on elementary matters of fact. When the subject is a restaurant or a line of code, the cost is trivial. When it is the Holocaust, terrorism or the legitimacy of the Jewish state, the error feeds directly into debates already poisoned by decades of ideological warfare and state-sponsored propaganda.
- A society that accepts fiction about the Jews has already most likely begun accepting fiction about everything.
- The civilization that taught machines to diagnose disease and decode ancient languages now carries the responsibility of ensuring they do not also recycle its oldest lie, its youngest lie, and the trillions of lies in the middle.
I hope – fervently – that the above summarizations impel you to use the link (here it is again) and read all the detail.
Please, please do. Learn what, in this particular example, Jews are up against.
And never, ever forget that it is NOT just this particular example. AI is NOT some infallible source of information. It can be played with/contorted/distorted. Not just in this area, but everywhere else as well.
