Anthropic 将在本月晚些时候向其 Claude AI 聊天机器人添加官方美国投票信息和选举结果，以迎接 2026 年 11 月的中期选举。该公司于周三（10 月 14 日）宣布了这一举措，称此次更新旨在帮助用户获取可靠的选举信息，同时防止 AI 在政治事件中的滥用。新功能将使用非营利组织 Democracy Works 提供的信息，该组织负责收集和共享投票信息。
Anthropic will add official US voting information and election results to its Claude AI chatbot later this month, ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections. The company announced the move on Wednesday, October 14, saying the update aims to help users access reliable election information while preventing the misuse of AI during political events. The new feature will use information provided by Democracy Works, a nonprofit that collects and shares voting information.
向 Claude 询问投票程序的美国用户将直接从该组织的州和地方选举来源数据库中获得答案。此次更新正值 AI 公司努力将其聊天机器人打造成新闻和公共信息的可靠来源之际。随着美国中期选举临近，越来越多的用户可能会转向 AI 工具，以询问有关选举、投票规则和结果的问题。Claude AI 将提供官方美国投票信息。
US users who ask Claude about voting procedures will receive answers drawn directly from the organisation’s database of state and local election sources. The update comes as AI companies look to make their chatbots useful sources of news and public information. With the US midterms approaching, more users may turn to AI tools to ask questions about elections, voting rules and results.

Anthropic 表示，此次计划中的更新旨在帮助用户查找投票流程信息。Claude 不再依赖一般性回答，而是在回答有关州和地方投票程序的问题时，将调用 Democracy Works 的数据库。公司还计划向聊天机器人添加选举结果。此次更新预计将于 10 月底向美国用户开放，届时将早于选民在 11 月前往投票站。Anthropic 表示，其目标是让 Claude 在政治对话中发挥作用，同时采取措施防止与选举相关的滥用行为。
Instead of relying on general responses, Claude will draw on Democracy Works’ database when answering questions about state and local voting procedures. The company also plans to add election results to the chatbot. The update is expected to be available to US users later in October, before voters head to the polls in November. Anthropic said its aim is to make Claude useful for political conversations while taking steps to prevent election-related abuse.
然而，该公司并未将该功能描述为推荐候选人或告诉用户如何投票的工具。八个美国州起诉OpenAI，指控ChatGPT让年轻用户接触危险行为。Anthropic分享政治对话数据。Anthropic还分享了数据，显示用户与Claude讨论政治和选举的频率。根据该公司的说法，关于政治、公共政策和社会问题的对话占Claude.ai（其在美国的消费者应用）所有对话的约5.75%。
However, the company did not describe the feature as a tool for recommending candidates or telling users how to vote. Eight US states sue OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT exposes young users to dangerous behaviorAnthropic shares data on political conversationsAnthropic also shared figures showing how often users discuss politics and elections with Claude. According to the company, conversations about politics, public policy and social issues account for around 5.75% of all conversations on Claude.ai, its consumer app in the United States.
这一数据来自对25万条美国对话的分析。与选举相关的具体问题仅占聊天机器人活动的一小部分。Anthropic表示，与选举或投票直接相关的对话约占美国对话的0.51%。该公司预计，随着选举日的临近，政治和与选举相关的查询将会增加。这些数据表明，虽然政治是聊天机器人使用的一部分，但与选举相关的问题目前仅占整体对话的一小部分。
The figure comes from an analysis of 250,000 US conversations. Election-specific questions make up a smaller share of the chatbot's activity. Anthropic said conversations directly related to elections or voting account for about 0.51% of US conversations. The company expects political and election-related queries to increase as Election Day approaches. The figures suggest that while politics is part of the chatbot's use, election-related questions currently make up a limited share of overall conversations.AI surge is reshaping cybersecurity boundariesAnthropic also said requests for recommendations on how to vote were extremely rare, accounting for just 0.01% of US conversations.AI companies prepare for election-related queriesThe update comes as AI chatbots become another way for people to seek information about public affairs.
AI热潮正在重塑网络安全边界。Anthropic还表示，关于如何投票的建议请求极为罕见，仅占美国对话的0.01%。AI公司正在为与选举相关的查询做准备。此次更新恰逢AI聊天机器人成为人们获取公共事务信息的另一种方式。用户可以向这些工具询问政治议题、选举程序和结果，使得其回答的准确性在选举期间成为一个重要问题。
Users can ask these tools about political issues, election procedures and results, making the accuracy of their responses an important concern during election periods. By using information from Democracy Works, Anthropic plans to direct voting-related questions towards a database of state and local election sources.
通过使用Democracy Works的信息，Anthropic计划将与投票相关的问题引导至州和地方选举来源的数据库。此举旨在为用户提供投票物流信息，而不仅仅依赖聊天机器人的通用知识。2026年11月的中期选举将决定美国国会席位，以及各州和地方的各种职位。
This approach is intended to give users information about voting logistics rather than relying only on the chatbot's general knowledge. The November 2026 midterm elections will determine seats in the US Congress, alongside various state and local offices.
随着选举临近，Anthropic 预计将有更多用户向 Claude 提出与政治进程相关的问题。
