Who would ChatGPT vote for and why should we care?

A timely discussion in the wake of the Danish national elections
Join us on April 16, 2026 for croissants, coffee, and a very timely and highly relevant one‑hour event examining how voters increasingly turn to AI chatbots for political guidance, and what this means for information quality, democratic participation, and digital critical thinking.
As tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini rapidly enter the public information ecosystem, voters now navigate a landscape hre AI-generated recommendations can influence perceptions of parties, policies, and political choices. This event brings together leading researchers and practitioners to discuss how AI-driven voting advice shapes public understanding and how societies can strengthen citizens' ability to evaluate such information critically.
