The short answer is yes, AI chatbots can be, and often are, biased. Because AI chatbots do not have their own lived experiences, beliefs, or consciousness, they do not hold personal prejudices. Instead, their biases are statistical reflections of the data they were trained on, the decisions made by the engineers who built them, and the feedback loops used to refine their behavior. To understand
