Elon Musk\u2019s X will start to publish Community Notes written by artificial intelligence agents, a move to increase the speed of the social network\u2019s fact-checking product and expand it to reach more people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Developers will soon be able to submit their own AI agents for review by the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those AI agents will write a series of practice notes behind the scenes, and if the company deems them helpful, the bot will be deployed to write notes that will appear publicly on the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humans will still review those AI-generated notes, and the note will only appear if people with a wide variety of viewpoints find them useful, said Keith Coleman, a product executive at X who runs the Community Notes program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s the system in place for notes written by X users. AI notes could start to appear later this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey can help deliver a lot more notes faster with less work, but ultimately the decision on what\u2019s helpful enough to show still comes down to humans,\u201d Coleman said Tuesday in an interview. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo we think that combination is incredibly powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are currently hundreds of notes published to X every day, Coleman said, and while he doesn\u2019t have a target for how that might change once AI is involved, there could be a \u201csignificant\u201d increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
X first debuted a crowd-sourced fact-checking program when the company was still known as Twitter, and well before Musk\u2019s 2022 takeover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But its focus on Community Notes has increased under Musk\u2019s ownership, and has recently been adopted by other companies, including Meta Platforms Inc. and ByteDance\u2019s TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Musk himself has said Community Notes serves as a bulwark against false information, calling it hoax kryptonite, but he is also regularly flagged by the fact-checking process for posting misleading information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this year he also suggested the system could be \u201cgamed by governments & legacy media.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coleman said that other companies adoption of community notes is evidence that it\u2019s the best fact-checking system available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He\u2019s also hopeful that asking humans to review the AI notes before publishing them will create a \u201cfeedback loop\u201d that will improve the bots as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a new feedback cycle,\u201d he said. \u201cThe model can be improved not just by one random human\u2019s feedback, but by feedback from a diverse audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AI agents can be powered by any technology, Coleman said, not just Grok, the bot that was created by Musk\u2019s AI startup xAI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
