A recent change has been implemented by the social media platform X in response to concerns raised by five secretaries of state regarding the spread of election misinformation. The AI chatbot, Grok, came under scrutiny after producing false information about state ballot deadlines following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.
The top election officials from Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Washington collectively penned a letter to the platform's owner, expressing their dissatisfaction with the dissemination of inaccurate information. They specifically requested that users seeking election-related information be directed to CanIVote.org, a reputable voting information website managed by the National Association of Secretaries of State.
