AI agents are political.
I've recently been using a couple of A-I agents to get information on my new medical condition (yes, I know, I know) and they've been largely helpful and seemingly accurate.
I've just had an 'argument' with Infomaniak's Euria.
It framed surgery for gynaecomastia under the NHS as unavailable "due to lack of funding" . When challenged it accepted that it was a policy choice based on clinical evidence. It went further and accepted that it was lazy wording and the words definitely had a political bias.
(This wasn't the only thing I caught it out on, but was by far the most troubling)
The summary seems to be - AI agents are not neutral and have many inbuilt biases
