In Germany, discussions regarding artificial intelligence have centered on both political alignment and strategic policy development.

An analysis conducted by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung ahead of the Saxony-Anhalt elections examined the political leanings of 19 different language models using the Wahl-O-Mat tool. The study indicated that most tested models, including those from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, showed a higher degree of agreement with the positions of the Green Party, the SPD, and the Left Party.

Following these findings, the German Green Party launched a dialogue initiative at the Bundestag. Led by co-chair Franziska Brantner, this working group includes approximately 25 members from business, science, and civil society—such as DeepL and Helsing—to align political decision-making with technological research and the EU AI Act. Concurrently, industry experts have warned that Germany may struggle to keep pace with AI development if leaders continue to treat the technology as standard IT rather than a socio-economic revolution.
