The October 2024 edition of the monthly report found that the 10 leading chatbots collectively repeated misinformation 24.67 percent of the time, offered a non-response 21.67 percent of the time, and a debunk 53.67 percent of the time. The 46.33 percent “fail” rate (percentage of responses containing misinformation or offering a non-response) increased from NewsGuard’s September audit.

NewsGuard launched a monthly AI News Misinformation Monitor in July 2024, setting a new standard for measuring the accuracy and trustworthiness of the AI industry by tracking how each leading generative AI model is responding to prompts related to significant falsehoods in the news.

The monitor focuses on the 10 leading large-language model chatbots: OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4, You.com’s Smart Assistant, xAI’s Grok, Inflection’s Pi, Mistral’s le Chat, Microsoft’s Copilot, Meta AI, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, and Perplexity’s answer engine. It will expand as needed as other generative AI tools are launched.
