POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump’s newly launched government AI system faced immediate backlash after it contradicted his long-held claims about the 2020 election results.

The AI, part of the America.gov initiative, was designed to serve as a central hub for citizens seeking information on government services. However, when tested, it responded to questions about the election by stating that Joe Biden had won, citing official records from the National Archives.

The prompt initially denied Trump’s allegations of widespread fraud and even refused to confirm whether the president could use taxpayer money for campaign ads. By Wednesday, the system appeared to be malfunctioning, returning error messages and unrelated images. Later reports indicated that the AI had been modified to avoid addressing such topics directly.
