AI Startup Perplexity Launches Truth Search AI on Truth Social
Perplexity, an innovative AI startup, has launched a new AI-driven search engine, Truth Search AI, on Truth Social, President Trump’s social media platform. Currently available on the web version, beta testing for iOS and Android apps is anticipated soon. The AI technology promises to deliver direct, contextually accurate answers with transparent citations, enhancing user information access, albeit with controlled source selection by Truth Social. Utilizing the Perplexity Sonar API, the search engine retrieves current, verified data and allows users to customize response formats.
However, initial assessments show a clear bias toward sources like Fox News, raising questions about access to diverse information. Devin Nunes, CEO of Trump Media, emphasizes user feedback will shape future enhancements. Notably, this launch coincides with Trump’s executive order on “biased AI,” reflecting an ongoing commitment to perceived ideologically neutral information dissemination.
