Social platform X edits AI chatbot after election officials warn that it spreads misinformation
The social media platform X has made a change to its AI chatbot after five secretaries of state warned it was spreading election misinformation. Top election officials sent a letter this month to Elon Musk complaining that the platform’s AI chatbot, Grok, produced false information about state ballot deadlines. After the request by the secretaries of state, the chatbot now directs users asking election-related questions to CanIVote.org, a voting information website run by the National Association of Secretaries of State.
