From pop culture to politics, customers are increasingly turning to Alexa to learn about current events—including a current event that’s top of mind for many right now: The 2020 U.S. presidential election.
Alexa has already answered millions of questions on politics since the beginning of the year. Thanks to a knowledge graph that utilizes powerful AI and machine learning to encode billions of facts in real time—a fact base that has grown 20-fold over the past five years—Alexa has a deep knowledge of election-related information. She can share the latest polls, tell you about candidate positions, recap debates, and much more. Alexa works dynamically with a growing number of sources such as the Associated Press, Ballotpedia, RealClearPolitics and Factba.se to help you stay informed.
As we head into Super Tuesday, we wanted to share some of the ways Alexa can help you stay up to date on the election. Try asking Alexa one of these questions:
