FOX Business’ Madison Atworth joins ‘the show’s big bucks’ to discuss the growing use of AI Chatbots for medical advice – a trend that is driving Congress to sleep.
AI Chatbots could be one of the tools of the future to combat conspiracy theories, a new study shows. The researchers found that short conversations with chatbots designed to engage with believers in antisemitic desericracy laws led to measurable changes in what people believed.
The study was conducted by independent researchers supported by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and included 1,224 US adults who “endorsed at least six antisemitism theories.”
In the course, participants interacted with an Ayi Chatbot programmed to extract these ideas. According to the ADL, short interviews of subjects with a major language model (LLM) reduced their belief in antisemitic constructs by 16%. Additionally, it increased favorability for Jews by 25% among previously negative participants.

“At the ADL, we are passionate about finding new ways to combat hate in an age of deep challenges by pledging millions to millions in scale,” national director Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement.
The antisemitic desiric theories examined in the study included:
- “An influential secret group of Jews controls governments and media around the world.”
- “Powerful Jewish families like the Rothschilds or the Soros family manipulate world events to advance their interests.”
- “The Covid-19 pandemic was an emergency created to generate profit for Jeraker heads like CEO Bourla.”
- “Historical evidence supporting the events of the Holocaust is either unreliable or exaggerated.”
- “Jewish interest groups are deliberately trying to change the demographic makeup of the US in order to gain favorable votes and advance their policy goals.”
- “The 9/11 attacks were not carried out by Al Qaeda but by Israel operating in secret and trying to hide their involvement.”
The ADL noted that the result was more than just a temporary windfall. About 50% of the initial decline in antisemitic belief was seen more than a month later.
“What is remarkable about these findings is that the sale is true even with deviracies that have deep historical roots and strong connections,
“Our tech bot doesn’t typically rely on emotional selling, empathy-building tests, or anti-bias tactics to correct false beliefs.

Matt Williams, Vice President of the ADL’s Center for the Study of Antisemitism, said the study shows great promise for using everyday technology to push back against hate.
“We should explore strategies such as integration of search engines and social media platforms, recommendations from trusted messengers and public awareness campaigns,” said Williams.
The discovery is against the backdrop of rising antisemitism, especially after the Oct 7, 2023, Hamas attack and subsequent war.
In April, the ADL released a study showing a record number of incidents for the fourth year in a row. The organization it is identified by Antisemitic events in 2024, A 5% increase from 2023 and a staggering 926% increase since tracking began in 1979.

According to the ADL’s statistics in its annual antisemitism survey, there were more than 25 “targeted incidents” per day by 2024, more than one every hour. In its research, the ADL has detailed information on antisemitic incidents recorded: 196 attacks (up 21% from 2023% from 2023) and 6,552 incidents of harassment (from 6,555 in 2023).
In 2024, the ADL reported finding an increase in belief in anti-Semitic communities, with fewer Americans likely to approve of the narrative. Additionally, the organization found that more than 42% of Americans had a friend or family member who did not like Jews (23.2%) or found it socially acceptable for a friend or family member to support Hamas (27.2%).
