Truth Social’s AI search is powered by Perplexity, but the platform can set limits on sources

Truth Social, the social media platform founded by former U.S. President Donald Trump, has integrated an AI-powered search engine called Truth Search AI. This search engine is powered by Perplexity, an AI assistant developed by Anthropic. The search function allows users to ask questions and receive concise, AI-generated responses. However, Truth Social has the ability to set limits on the sources that the AI can draw from, potentially restricting the information available to users. The public beta testing of the search feature on the iOS and Android apps is expected to commence in the near future, following its initial release on the web version of the platform. This integration of an AI-powered search engine highlights Truth Social's efforts to enhance its platform and provide users with a more advanced information-seeking experience. However, the platform's ability to control the sources used by the AI raises concerns about the potential for information curation and potential bias.
