White House launches America.gov, an AI chatbot for government services
What happened
On September 29, 2026, the US government launched America.gov, using AI to give simple answers drawn from federal, state and local official websites. It consolidates 29,000 government sites, is free and ad-free, does not collect or store personal information, and the conversation disappears once you leave the page. No app download is needed; you just open it in a browser and ask. Officials say form filling and progress tracking will come in 2027. The next day, TechCrunch reported that Trump announced the White House launch of America.gov, an AI chatbot to help people find government services and information, and that Google confirmed it is involved and providing the Gemini model; whether other AI companies are involved is unclear. Trump said it would replace digging through tens of thousands of government websites and rules, offering a single entry point. The report also noted that large language models still hallucinate easily, and that if people use it to check information on applying for food stamps, renewing a visa or filing taxes, an error could mean missed deadlines, denied benefits or penalties.

特朗普宣布白宫推出 America.gov，一个帮助民众查找政府服务与信息的 AI 聊天机器人，Google 确认参与并提供 Gemini 模型，其他 AI 公司是否参与尚不清楚。特朗普称这将取代在数万个政府网站和规则中翻找的过程，提供统一入口。文章指出大语言模型仍易产生幻觉，若民众用它查询申请食品券、续签签证或报税等信息，出错可能导致错过截止日期、福利被拒或受罚。
