ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND POLITICAL PERCEPTION

The features of perception and interpretation of political text generated using artificial intelligence are studied in the paper. Based on the theoretical foundations of the axiological approach, experimental testing was conducted among undergraduate students of political science at the Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod. A set of methods was used during the testing and processing of the results: scaling, statistical analysis (correlation), comparative analysis, and the construction of contingency tables. Experimental testing was carried out in early to mid-April 2025 and involved working with texts of definitions of the concept of "Political Values" formulated by Russian scientists and generated by the popular AI chatbot: ChatGPT. The results of the study showed that the success of deter-mining the artificial nature of the text (generated using artificial intelligence) is affected by the frequency of AI use. In turn, the frequency of AI use is not a determining factor in assessing the degree of ideologization of AI-generated texts. The study showed that the ideological nature of AI text is determined by test participants based on the degree to which it focuses on society and the state rather than on individuals.
