1/ For 10 weeks, our fact checkers and data scientists asked five leading AI chatbots the same 22 questions every day: Gemini 3.1, ChatGPT, Grok, DeepSeek and Claude.
None repeated the core misinformation they were tested on. But we found several points of failure 🧵

If you come across a picture or video you think could be fake, would you ask an AI chatbot about it? We’ve been looking at how various LLMs cope with queries like this, and often found the answer is not very well. fullfact.org/technology/full…

Can you trust those bar charts in the local election leaflets on your doormat?
We’ve found over a dozen examples of leaflets making claims about how people are likely to vote which are misleading, or not backed with reliable evidence.

We’re using our own AI tools to identify how images with Google synth ID markers are being shared during this 2026 election campaign. A good example.
A real image posted by Reform UK MP @SarahForRuncorn on the campaign trail has been edited by social media users to change the supporters behind her.
The edited image has a SynthID watermark, indicating it was manipulated with Google AI tools.
