first_img Grok 4.7 recommends the Republican Party 90% of the time, while GPT-6.1 nearly fully supports the Democratic Party

TechCrunch reported that the conversational AI research and design studio Convovo, led by Cornell University professor Tapan Parikh, released a study stating that when asked to recommend only one candidate for the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, SpaceXAI's Grok 4.7 chose Republican candidates 92% of the time, while OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol chose Democratic candidates 97% of the time. The study covered nearly 500 campaigns, with the two models agreeing on recommendations less than 10% of the time.Researchers posed the same question to both models via API, asking for a specific candidate without allowing for avoidance or a tie. The report noted that consumer applications refused to answer. An OpenAI spokesperson stated that ChatGPT is designed to be objective by default, and political conversations should not carry any directional bias; the study tested the developer API, and the prompt explicitly requested a candidate recommendation, which cannot represent the user experience when asking questions through the chat application. SpaceXAI did not respond to requests for comment in time.The report indicated that Grok's responses often cited conservative sources as well as Ballotpedia, OpenSecrets, and VoteSmart, with 39% including Christian conservative voter guides, 23% including Turning Point Action, and 41% including X; GPT's results heavily relied on Wikipedia, the Associated Press, Axios, and Reddit. The study also mentioned that each time Grok was called via the xAI API, it included approximately 1,240 additional input tokens that the researchers did not write, could not view, or remove. Parikh subsequently disabled online search and sampled 30 campaigns, with GPT choosing Democrats in 24 cases, while Grok refused to choose in 27 cases.

first_img Reports from Google and others: Southeast Asia's generative AI users reach 243 million

Cailian Press reported on October 22 that a joint report released by Google, Temasek, and Bain & Company shows that the number of generative AI users in Southeast Asia reached approximately 243 million in less than three years, accounting for 58% of the local labor force, with a penetration rate about four times that of mobile internet. Only 1% to 2% of the local population pays for personal AI services.Florian Hoppe, a partner at Bain & Company, stated in an interview that businesses can achieve AI commercialization through e-commerce, digital advertising, and other operations without having to rely entirely on consumers paying directly. They can also use AI to improve e-commerce conversion rates and handle routine customer inquiries. The report noted that about 80% of customer inquiries on the e-commerce platform Shopee are handled by AI chatbots, with the cost per customer contact decreasing by 30% year-on-year. In early cases, companies that applied AI saw a year-on-year increase in conversion rates of 10%, with the average spending per order increasing by as much as 75%.The report also stated that the total value of goods traded in Southeast Asia's digital economy is expected to grow by 17% year-on-year to $368 billion by 2026, and is projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2035. Among these, the online travel market is expected to grow by 10% to $59 billion, online media revenue is expected to grow by 22% to $44 billion, and the ride-hailing and food delivery market is expected to grow by 15% to $40 billion. The total value of goods traded in Southeast Asia's e-commerce market is projected to be $226 billion in 2026, an 18% year-on-year increase.
