Trump's new AI chatbot keeps fact-checking him

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it. Your support makes all the difference. Donald Tump's new AI-powered search engine has been contradicting the US president on some of his core policies since launching last week. The Truth Search AI feature, which is integrated into the web browser of Mr Trump's social media platform Truth Social, is designed to deliver 'direct, reliable answers', according to its creators. The chatbot's responses typically draw from right wing and pro-Trump news sources like Fox News and Newsmax, however it did not support recent statements made by Trump. On Friday, Mr Trump said that his tariff policy has had a 'huge positive impact' on the stock market, but the AI tool responded saying 'the evidence does not support this claim'. First reported by The Washington Post , Truth Search AI also called the US president's claim that the 2020 election was stolen as 'baseless'. When asked about a recent post by Mr Trump on Truth Social about crime in Washington, D.C., the AI bot responded that it is 'not totally out of control'. Users on social media also shared instances of the new AI bot claiming that Barack Obama is the most popular president of the century, and that the Trump family's crypto projects pose a conflict of interest. Trump Media said in a press release unveiling the new feature that its mission was to 'end Big Tech's assault on free speech by opening up the internet and giving people their voice's back'. The AI feature is developed by the controversial artificial intelligence company Perplexity, which recently faced criticism after security firm Cloudflare alleged that it was secretly scrape websites without their permission. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said the company was acting 'like North Korean hackers', however Perplexity dismissed the claims. Trump Media did not respond to a request for comment from The Independent .

Frustrated Crystal Palace count cost after Cas upholds Europa League ban

The news Steve Parish was dreading arrived less than 24 hours after he basked in the glory of watching Crystal Palace win their second trophy in three months. Parish had been confident the club's appeal against their demotion from the Europa League would succeed as he discussed their prospects in the bowels of Wembley stadium after the Community Shield victory against Liverpool on Sunday. 'I really am, even more after Friday,' the club chair said. 'I don't understand that we cannot be in the competition. I really can't. But it's up to the judges to decide. We trust them and that they listened to everything we said so let's see.' Confirmation from the court of arbitration for sport that it had upheld the decision made by Uefa's club financial control body to punish Palace for breaching its multi-club ownership rules has brought Parish and the team's supporters back to earth. The Cas statement made clear the role of John Textor, the American businessman who last month sold his 43% stake in Palace to the New York Jets owner, Woody Johnson, was decisive. Textor has admitted that seconds after Palace's victory against Manchester City in May's FA Cup final that he feared for the worst regarding participation in the Europa League, given that he owns Lyon, who also qualified. The Cas panel – consisting of a Dutch former striker, a Swiss former fencer who competed in the 1984 Olympics and an Italian professor – backed Uefa's findings that Textor 'was a board member with decisive influence over both clubs at the time of Uefa's assessment date'. It also dismissed Palace's argument that they had received unfair treatment compared to Nottingham Forest and Lyon, and said missing the 1 March deadline for Textor to place his shares into a blind trust had been crucial. Textor has been the target of most Palace fans' frustration, although several have also taken aim at the Nottingham Forest owner, Evangelos Marinakis. Forest, who are poised to take Palace's Europa League place, wrote to Uefa a few weeks after the FA Cup final expressing concern that Palace may have contravened multi-club ownership regulations. Parish suggested last month in an interview with Gary Lineker that their Premier League rivals had played a role in the decision to ban them. 'We were told that and I think it's been made public,' he said. 'These things seem to be played out in public. There doesn't seem to be a lot of confidentiality that comes out of certain organisations. But we're led to believe that that's the issue – if there wasn't somebody that wanted to get in as a consequence, then there wouldn't be a problem. 'People have got to look at themselves. Some people will say it's fine, some people will say it's not. I don't really have control of that. I only have control of the arguments that we put forward to Uefa.' Forest declined to comment on Parish's remarks at the time. Palace's case is believed to have included evidence that only members of the European Club Association were informed Uefa's 1 March deadline for complying with multi-club rules could be extended until 31 May – a fact that enabled Marinakis to place Forest into a blind trust when it seemed they might qualify for the Champions League along with his Greek club, Olympiakos. Palace are also understood to have highlighted the burgeoning friendship between Marinakis and Textor. The American denies that had any bearing on his conduct and described as untrue reports he is planning to incorporate his Brazilian club Botafogo into the Greek shipping magnate's network of clubs. Forest sent a legal delegation to the Cas hearing to argue their case and they have been silent since Palace were demoted by Uefa last month. Marinakis has resumed control of shares in the two-time European champions after they finished seventh in the Premier League. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Their supporters can look forward to the Europa League's league stage while Palace prepare for a Conference League playoff against the losers of the Europa League qualifier between Norway's Fredrikstad and Midtjylland of Denmark. Midtjylland lead 3-1 going into their home leg on Thursday. It is estimated demotion will cost Palace up to £20m in lost revenue, given the Conference League's league stage has two fewer games than the Europa League's, although Oliver Glasner will fancy his chances of winning a competition that has had two English winners in its first four editions. The chance for Palace to play in Europe for the first time since a short-lived Intertoto Cup experience in 1998, when they qualified after being the only English team to apply for entry, will be consolation for a club that also missed out in 1991 when they finished third in the old First Division. Only the top two went into Europe via league position.

Petrol ban has plunged Europe's car industry into crisis, says Mercedes

A looming ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars has plunged Europe's car industry into crisis, the boss of Mercedes-Benz has warned. Ola Kallenius has urged Brussels to urgently review the policy to avoid the sector's collapse, as he said carmakers are facing their bleakest-ever outlook. As well as the upcoming 2035 ban across the Continent, European carmakers are also battling Donald Trump's tariffs and heightened competition from cheaper Chinese rivals. Mr Kallenius told German newspaper Handelsblatt: 'We need to do a reality check. Otherwise, we'll drive full speed into the wall.' 'Of course we have to decarbonise but we must not lose sight of our economy.' He has called for looser net zero rules after the industry was caught up in the US president's trade war, which has culminated in a 15pc tariff on European cars being exported to the US. This is up from 2.5pc before Mr Trump re-entered the White House, but lower than the 27.5pc imposed after his April 2 'liberation day' tariffs announcement. Mr Kallenius said: 'The environment in which we operate is extremely complex at the moment. 'Our industry is experiencing heavy rain, hail, storms and snow at the same time. Car manufacturing is a tough business, more so than ever.' Mr Kallenius, who took over as chief executive in 2019, also pointed out that any deadline will simply rush motorists into buying petrol or diesel cars. 'That doesn't do the climate any good,' he said. His comments echo those of German rival BMW, which has also argued that the 2035 ban should be delayed. Oliver Zipse, BMW's chief executive, said in October that the date was 'no longer realistic' and could 'threaten the European automotive industry in its heart [leading] to a massive shrinking of the industry as a whole'. The latest intervention will no doubt also raise questions for the Labour Government, which reinstated the UK's 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol cars after coming to power. Weak demand for electric cars has already fuelled job losses across some of Britain's biggest manufacturers, including at Vauxhall owner Stellantis and Ford. Liam Butterworth, the boss of UK engineering giant Dowlais, recently urged Sir Keir Starmer to review the policy owing to the stuttering transition to electric vehicles (EVs). He said: 'This is an industry that has been heavily focused on combustion engines for many decades. It takes time to transition to an EV world, and the consumer needs to be ready as well.' It comes as Chinese manufacturers are rapidly taking market share from legacy European manufacturers. Chinese sales across 28 European countries surged 91pc in the first half of the year, reaching 5.1pc of the market, according to figures from Jato Dynamics.
