However, though Trump appears to support AI, that does not mean AI supports him, as our recent AI analysis of some of the president’s many questionable public statements shows.

To counter any inadvertent bias or systemic failures, we asked each of five leading AI models — OpenAI’s ChatGPT; Anthropic’s Claude; X/xAI’s Grok (owned by Elon Musk); Google’s Gemini; and Perplexity — to verify the president’s most oft-repeated claims or assertions. The systems are completely independent, with no known ideological filters and no revealed perspective biases among the model trainers. Statisticians would call this methodological verification a check for inter-rater reliability.

Artificial intelligence discredited all the Trump claims we presented, fact-checking the president with startling...
