OpenAI 的 ChatGPT 在本届中期选举周期中，通过与非营利组织 Democracy Works 的合作，向用户提供了超过 1600 万次选举日和投票信息。
OpenAI’s ChatGPT gave users Election Day and voting information more than 16 million times this midterm cycle through a partnership with the nonprofit Democracy Works.
截至周二下午，OpenAI 报告称，ChatGPT 已从 Democracy Works 获取信息超过 1650 万次。Democracy Works 是一家与科技公司合作、提供实时、准确的选举日信息的非营利组织。这些信息包括注册截止日期、身份证件要求和投票地点。

在上个月的一次简报会上，OpenAI 公民与战略风险负责人乔什·劳森（Josh Lawson）在描述这项合作伙伴关系时表示，它提供了一个“数据新鲜度层”，能够“增强我们为人们提供的服务”。
Describing the partnership in a briefing last month, OpenAI’s head of civic and strategic risk, Josh Lawson, said it provides a “data freshness layer” that “enhances what we’re able to offer to people.”
劳森说：“‘Democracy Works’与州和地方选举办公室合作，汇编来自这些办公室的可靠信息库，以及通往那些下游选举办公室网站的链接，涵盖投票地点、截止日期、特定地区允许的投票方式。”他补充道，该非营利组织还会在整个选举期间监测变更和更新。
“Democracy Works works with state and local election offices to compile kind of the reliable corpus of information from those offices, as well as links to those downstream elections office sites around voting locations, deadlines, voting methods that are allowed in a particular place,” Lawwson said, adding the nonprofit also monitors changes and updates made throughout the election period.
劳森还表示，自 2024 年以来，这项合作显著改变了选民的体验，他指出，过去模型会拒绝回答，或者引导用户进入一个需要多次点击才能找到答案的网站。
The partnership has significantly changed voters’ experience since 2024, Lawson added, stating the model used to refuse to answer or lead to a website that required multiple clicks for the answer.
