As AI becomes a gateway to information and truth, the values embedded within LLMs become a political issue. Do AI systems developed in the US, China and Europe answer the same questions differently, and if so what are the implications? This live field experiment explores this issue. Our panel will put questions to a range of LLMs, examine the resulting responses and assess how politics, regulation and culture have shaped these different responses.

Whose AI is it anyway? (Live field experiment)
