X experiments with AI bots for writing Community Notes: Check details
Sweta Kumari New Delhi
X (formerly Twitter) has launched an experiment to allow artificial intelligence chatbots to generate Community Notes, its user-driven fact-checking feature. The move is aimed at improving the platform's ability to tackle misinformation swiftly while maintaining human oversight for transparency and reliability.
Under the new system, AI tools such as X's in-house chatbot Grok, along with third-party AI systems connected via API, will be able to draft Community Notes. However, these notes will not be published automatically. They must pass through the platform's existing multi-perspective review process, similar to human-written notes, before they can appear publicly.
In a post on the official Community Notes account, X said: 'The API's goal: Make contributing to Community Notes amazing for both human contributors and developers.' The platform also stressed that any AI involvement would align with the principles of openness, fairness, quality, and transparency.
According to X's support documentation, AI Note Writers cannot rate notes. Instead, only verified human contributors have the authority to assess and rate content. The AI-generated notes are intended to assist human reviewers by proposing content that may need clarification or context, but the final decision on which notes are displayed remains with human contributors.
This AI-driven experiment comes as other platforms also rethink their fact-checking models. Meta recently shifted to a more community-based approach, and platforms like TikTok and YouTube have drawn inspiration from Community Notes to build their own systems.
What are Community Notes
Community Notes are collaborative annotations added to posts that may include misinformation, manipulated content, or unclear AI-generated material. These notes are crowdsourced from users with diverse viewpoints, and only appear publicly once a consensus is reached across groups, ensuring accuracy and neutrality.

US commerce secretary says Trump really likes TikTok, but app has to move to US ownership
U.S. President Donald Trump likes TikTok but the Chinese-owned short video app, used by some 170 million Americans, has to move to U.S. ownership, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said on Sunday. 'The President really likes TikTok, and he said it over and over again, because, you know, it was a good way to communicate with young people,' Lutnick said in an interview on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream. 'But let's face it, you can't have the Chinese have an app on 100 million American phones, that is just not okay. So, it's got to move to American ownership, it's got to move to American technology, American algorithms,' he said. 'I know the President is positive towards TikTok, if it can move into American hands.'
