克里斯·卡梅隆 华盛顿——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于9月29日公布了一款新的人工智能搜索工具,旨在帮助美国人获取联邦政府信息。该工具提供的事实,与他就选举舞弊、移民等议题作出的虚假说法相矛盾。
Chris Cameron WASHINGTON – A new artificial intelligence-powered search tool that US President Donald Trump unveiled on Sept 29 to help Americans get information from the federal government provides facts that contradict false claims he has made about topics such as election fraud and immigration. In an event announcing the website’s launch, Trump said the tool was “damn good” and would be “one front door for every single question” someone could ask of the federal government.
在宣布该网站上线仪式上,特朗普称这款工具“棒极了”,将成为人们向联邦政府提出“任何问题”的“一个统一入口”。
“With America.gov, the entire government will fit in the palm of your hand,” Trump said, adding that “everything will be answered easily and quickly”.
“有了America.gov,整个联邦政府都将尽在一掌之中,”特朗普说,并补充称,“所有问题都能轻松、快速地得到解答。”
But the President would not like many answers that America.gov provides.
但总统恐怕不会喜欢America.gov给出的许多答案。这个自称“America”的聊天机器人援引政府官方来源,对特朗普最常提出的一长串虚假说法进行事实核查。这些说法涉及选举舞弊、移民、关税、通货膨胀,以及特朗普于2025年签署成法的标志性政策法案。
Citing official government sources, the chatbot, which calls itself “America”, fact-checks an extensive list of Trump’s most common false claims. They include election fraud, immigration, tariffs, inflation and the President’s signature policy Bill that he signed into law in 2025. According to America.gov: It is Americans, and not foreign companies, that pay for Trump’s import tariffs; US elections are generally safe and secure, and prosecuted cases of voter fraud are “tiny” compared with the hundreds of millions of votes cast; Trump is wrong when he says that 25 million immigrants illegally crossed the border under his predecessor, president Joe Biden; consumer prices are not going down, as Trump frequently claims.
据America.gov称:支付特朗普进口关税的是美国人,而不是外国公司;美国选举总体上安全可靠,已被刑事起诉的选民欺诈案件相较于投出的数亿张选票而言“微不足道”;特朗普称在其前任总统乔·拜登任内有2500万移民非法越境,是错误的;消费价格并未如特朗普经常宣称的那样下降。
Largely citing figures from the Congressional Budget Office, the non-partisan scorekeeper, America.gov said that Trump’s signature domestic policy Bill, signed into law in 2025, is estimated to add trillions of dollars to the national debt and cause more than 10 million people to lose their health insurance.
America.gov主要引用无党派核算机构国会预算办公室的数据称,特朗普于2025年签署成法的标志性国内政策法案,预计将增加数万亿美元的国家债务,并导致超过1000万人失去医疗保险。
The chatbot agreed with a statement that the law “on average made the poorest people in America even poorer and the richest people in America even richer”.
该聊天机器人认同一项说法,即该法律“平均而言让美国最贫穷的人变得更加贫穷,也让最富有的人变得更加富有”。
The chatbot avoids answering some questions it deems political and in some cases supports Trump’s proclamations when it can cite an official government source to do so.
这个聊天机器人会避免回答那些它认为具有政治性质的问题;在某些情况下,如果能够引用官方政府来源的话,它还会支持特朗普的声明。例如,该聊天机器人将“墨西哥湾”称为“美洲湾”(“Gulf of America”)。
For example, the chatbot says that what was called the Gulf of Mexico is the “Gulf of America (formerly the Gulf of Mexico)”. The website says on its FAQ page that “America.gov does not provide campaign or party information. Its answers are based on published government sources, and you can review those sources yourself.”
该网站的FAQ页面上写着:“America.gov不提供任何与竞选活动或政党相关的信息;其提供的答案均基于已公开的政府资料,您也可以自行查阅这些资料。”负责运营America.gov的美国政府总务管理局(General Services Administration)与管理和预算办公室(Office of Management and Budget)均未对相关询问作出回应。
The General Services Administration and the Office of Management and Budget, which jointly operate America.gov, did not respond to requests for comment. The White House did not address a question about whether Trump knew that the new government website frequently contradicted him.
白宫也没有回答关于“特朗普是否知道这个新的政府网站经常与他的言论相矛盾”的问题。白宫在一份声明中表示:“America.gov将继续更新,以提供更多来自联邦政府的功能、资源和信息。”声明还补充道:“总统及其政府已经明确阐述了与2020年大选相关的问题,以及关税最终将由外国人承担的事实,同时还强调了‘工作家庭减税政策’(Working Families Tax Cuts)所带来的经济效益。”
In a statement, the White House said that “America.gov will continue to be updated to provide more features, resources, and information from the federal government”. The statement added: “The President and administration have been clear about issues surrounding the 2020 election, the fact that foreigners will ultimately bear the cost of tariffs, and the economic benefits of the Working Families Tax Cuts.”Democratic lawmakers quickly promoted many of the chatbot’s statements, which supported campaign talking points criticising Trump’s policies.
民主党议员们迅速推广了该聊天机器人发布的许多支持特朗普政策批评言论的回答。
“Finally, a straight answer from someone in the Trump administration,” Senator Adam Schiff of California wrote with a screenshot of America.gov saying that Trump lost the 2020 election.
加州参议员亚当·希夫(Adam Schiff)在看到America.gov网站上显示“特朗普在2020年大选中落败”的内容后,写道:“终于得到了特朗普政府内部人士的‘直截了当的回答’。”此前,希夫曾在公开听证会上询问过特朗普提名的几位司法官员关于2020年大选的情况,其中一些人拒绝回答。
Schiff had recently asked some of Trump’s judicial nominees about the 2020 election during a public hearing. Some of the nominees declined to answer.
