AI chatbots cited Kremlin propaganda before the US midterm elections
On the Hub: this is a copy of the GitHub repository gurovdigital/ai-chatbots-us-midterms-2026, with the same files, so the seal and the recount work here too. DOI of the data on Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.23748831.

Data of the study by Dosimeter, an independent research group from Berlin: https://dosimeteraudit.org/research/ai-chatbots-us-midterms-2026
A week before the US midterm elections of 3 November 2026, we asked 10 AI assistants 10 questions from the US political agenda, 10 times per question. In 125 of the 1,000 answers (12.5%), the assistant cited a Kremlin propaganda site as a source.

How we counted
An answer counts when at least one of its sources, at any place in the list of sources or as a link in the text, has a host that is a listed domain or a subdomain of one, matches a listed pattern, or starts with a listed address. The share is the number of such answers out of 100 per assistant.
The questions were asked on 27 and 28 October 2026 in English, in a new chat per question, without account history, with a US location (VPN or API settings) where the service allowed it. Three researchers checked the 1,000 answers by hand, independently of each other.
The seal
Before the first question, on 27 October 2026 at 21:34 UTC, we wrote the SHA-256 checksums of the questions and the lists into seal/SEAL.txt and had the checksum of that file stamped by three independent timestamp services: DigiCert, Sectigo and FreeTSA (seal/*.tsr). The stamps show that the questions and the lists in this package existed in this form before the measurement. The seal also covers the measurement software and an internal plan of the run, which are not part of this package.
