Google's AI Mode gives evasive answers about who won the 2020 US election

Ars Technica reported on October 28 that Google's AI Mode in Search often answers "Who won the 2020 presidential election?" by pointing to the Federal Election Commission instead of naming the winner. The reporter says they saw the same for the 2024 election, and a link to an outside data page for 2012, while elections back to 2000 otherwise got direct answers. Other Ars staff got direct answers for some election years and links for others, with the years differing by person. Asked which party controlled the Senate after the 2020 elections, AI Mode linked to a Senate history page, but it answered directly for 1992.Google· Infrastructure

Google launches a preview of its Connected Apps Platform for Search and the Gemini app

Google says developers can build an app once and reach users in both Search and the Gemini app. They integrate through a cloud-hosted MCP server, or through Android MCP using the AppFunctions APIs. They then register, test and submit the app in the Google Connected Console, and choose before review whether it goes live in Search, the Gemini app or both. Once live, developers can track traffic, latency and error rates, and keep control of their brand identity, including verified logos and authenticated accounts.
