November 1, 2024: Perplexity Debuts AI-Driven Elections Tracker - Perplexity, an AI-powered search engine, has launched a dedicated hub for tracking U.S. general election information. The platform provides live updates and answers election-related questions using data from The Associated Press and Democracy Works. While other AI services avoid election topics due to misinformation risks, Perplexity aims to offer accurate, AI-summarized analyses on candidates and policies. However, concerns linger given AIs history of inaccuracies in handling election data, as highlighted by studies revealing incorrect information from major chatbots when queried about elections.
