In a recent presidential election, two AI startups, xAI and Perplexity, attempted to provide accurate, real-time information to the public. While xAI failed miserably, Perplexity successfully offered helpful insights and maps, linking to reliable resources and providing historical context. This achievement sets Perplexity apart from other AI chatbots, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which refused to answer election-related questions.
Perplexity will continue to refine its AI technology, addressing any remaining bugs and improving its ability to provide accurate information in real-time.
As the demand for AI-powered election information grows, Perplexity will face increased competition from other startups and media companies, potentially leading to a shift in the market.
The use of AI in election information will become more widespread, with Perplexity and other successful startups leading the charge. This could lead to a significant reduction in the role of traditional media outlets in providing election information.
The integration of AI into election information will become the norm, with AI-powered platforms like Perplexity becoming the primary source of information for voters. This could lead to a significant increase in voter engagement and participation.
