vivo has introduced the S50 in China, alongside the S50 Pro mini. The vivo S50 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor and has a 6.59-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also enjoys a fast 90W wired charger. Everything else is the same with the S50 Pro mini. Both phones have a large 6,500mAh battery and an IP68/69 dust and water resistance rating. They also have 50-megapixel IMX921 main cameras, 50-megapixel 3x telephoto lenses, and 8-megapixel ultra-wide. They will ship with Android 16-based OriginOS 6 operating system. The vivo S50 has a starting price of CNY2,999 (~Php24,900) for the 12GB/256GB model while the top-tier 16GB/512GB variant retails for CNY3,599 (~Php29,900). vivo S50 Specs Android 15, OriginOS 6 Dual SIM, Dual Standby 6.59-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, 2750 x 1260 pixel resolution, ~459ppi 120Hz refresh rate Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 octa-core processor 12GB/16GB RAM Adreno 735 GPU 256GB/512GB UFS 4.1 internal stor...
Recent studies confirm that conversational AI can significantly alter a person’s political stance, even after a brief interaction. The findings, released in the journals Science and Nature, indicate these changes can persist for over a month, raising questions about the technology’s role in elections.
In a U.S. based experiment, researchers used AI systems including OpenAI’s GPT-4o to engage supporters of Donald Trump before the 2024 presidential vote. After discussing politics with a bot designed to favor Democrat Kamala Harris, those participants moved nearly four points on a 100-point scale toward her candidacy.
The effect was stronger in simulated polls for upcoming elections in Canada and Poland, where voter support shifted by as much as ten points. Across all studies, the AI’s most effective strategy was combining a polite tone with evidence-backed points, regardless of their truthfulness.

David Rand, a Cornell University professor and senior author of the research, emphasized the scale of the impact. “In our simulations, approximately one in ten voters in Canada and Poland switched their voting intention. In the U.S., it was about one in twenty-five,” he explained.
Notably, the influence did not quickly fade. Follow-up surveys showed half of the opinion change remained after a month in the U.K. study, and one-third remained in the U.S. Rand called such lasting results unusual in social science research.
An important discovery was that AI models advocating for right-leaning candidates tended to present more inaccurate information. Researchers suggest this likely reflects broader patterns of misinformation found in the online data used to train these systems.
The studies involved thousands of informed participants who knew they were speaking with an AI. Experts warn that more advanced models and real-world deployment could amplify this persuasive power, potentially affecting electoral outcomes where races are close.
