Secretaries Urge Musk to Fix X's AI Misinformation

Five secretaries of state from Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Washington have urged Elon Musk to rectify misinformation spread by X's AI chatbot, Grok, concerning ballot deadlines. This misinformation arose shortly after President Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, falsely claiming that ballot deadlines had passed in nine states. The secretaries have asked Musk to redirect Grok users to CanIVote.org for accurate election information. The spread of these inaccuracies highlights ongoing concerns about the role of social media in disseminating false information, particularly under Musk's ownership of X. Additionally, Musk has faced criticism for incendiary tweets and allowing divisive content on the platform, contributing to social unrest in the UK.
