America.gov and the AI Chatbot
An AI-based website and chatbot named America.gov was launched to provide access to federal government information. However, this system drew attention by unexpectedly giving responses that contradicted administration policies.
2020 Election Results and Official Documents
When the chatbot was asked who won the 2020 election, the system cited the Federal Election Commission and other official government documents to state that Joseph R. Biden Jr. won and Donald J. Trump lost.
White House and Officials' Approach
Following this situation, White House officials stated that the service would be updated and the most accurate federal information would be provided, after which the bot began avoiding answering political questions.
Immigration and Customs Tariff Debates
The chatbot also corrected Trump's claims in the fields of border security and economy, conveying that contrary to claims that consumer prices fell, they rose, and that Americans, not foreign companies, pay the cost of customs tariffs.
