AI AND ELECTIONS
Check your voting facts here, not in a chatbot
A study by Forum AI, a startup that tests AI models, found that almost 40 percent of chatbot answers to election questions had at least one factual error, AFP reports.
The details:
The study looked at eight AI models.
Questions about how, when and where to vote went wrong more often than questions about candidates.
Google's Gemini 3.6 Flash gave a Pennsylvania deadline to ask for a mail ballot that was a week too late.
Claude mixed up a North Carolina congressman with a different person.
Forum AI says the chatbots often used "poor quality" sources, like Reddit threads.
What it means for you: AI is fine for learning about a topic. For dates, places and rules, go to your state. Can I Vote, made by state election officials, links you straight to your state's site.

How to fact check any AI answer in 2 minutes
This works for any topic, from taxes to health to the news.
Ask the AI to list every date, number and name in its answer.
Ask it for a link for each one.
Click the links. Make sure each page is real and says the same thing.
For anything official, like a deadline or a rule, check the source itself.
If a fact has no good source, don't use it.
Paste this right after any answer you plan to use:
Go through your last answer. List each date, number and name you used. For each one, give me the link where you found it and rate how sure you are: high, medium or low. Mark anything you can't back up.QUICK HITS

A CRM so smart, it updates itself.
HubSpot's CRM is so smart, it now updates itself. Calls get logged and summarized the moment they end. New leads get researched and a first outreach drafted, automatically. Deals move forward on their own, with next steps flagged before you have to ask.
Even the one repetitive task you've been meaning to fix can now run itself, no code required. Customers using it are already seeing the difference.
This isn't the CRM you have to work hard to figure out. It's the one already working before you log in.
