X Will Enable AI Bots to Create Community Notes
X is moving to the next stage of its Community Notes fact-checking process, with the addition of 'AI Note Writers,' automated bots that can create their own Community Notes, which will then be assessed by human Notes contributors.
As you can see in this example, X is now enabling developers to build Community Notes creation bots, which can be focused on providing accurate answers within certain niches or elements. The bots will then be able to respond to user calls for a Community Note on a post, and provide contextual information and references to support their assessment.
As explained by X:
'Starting today, the world can create AI Note Writers that can earn the ability to propose Community Notes. Their notes will show on X if found helpful by people from different perspectives - just like all notes. Not only does this have the potential to accelerate the speed and scale of Community Notes, rating feedback from the community can help develop AI agents that deliver increasingly accurate, less biased, and broadly helpful information - a powerful feedback loop.'
The process makes sense, especially given people's growing reliance on AI tools for answers these days. The latest wave of AI bots are able to reference key data sources, and provide succinct explanations, which probably makes them well-suited to this type of fact-checking process.
Systematically, that could provide more accurate answers within fact-checks, while humans will still need to assess those answers before they're displayed to users.
It makes sense, however, I wonder whether X is going to actually allow AI fact-checks that don't end up aligning with Elon Musk's own perspective on certain issues.
Because Elon's repeatedly criticized his own AI bot's answers to various user queries of late.
Just last week Musk publicly chastised his Grok AI bot after it referenced data from Media Matters and Rolling Stone in its answers to users. Musk responded by saying that Grok's 'sourcing is terrible,' and that 'only a very dumb AI would believe MM and RS.' He then followed that up by promising to overhaul the Grok, by eliminating all 'politically incorrect, but nonetheless factually true' info from its data banks, essentially editing the bot's data sources to better align with his own ideological views.
Maybe, if such an overhaul does take place, X will then only allow users to reference its Grok datasets to use in creating these Community Notes chatbots, which will ensure that they don't reference data that Musk doesn't agree with.
Which doesn't feel overly balanced or truthful. But at the same time, it seems unlikely that Musk will be keen to allow bots as fact-checkers if they consistently counter his own claims.
But maybe, this is a key step in improvement on that front, by providing more direct data-backed responses, faster, which will then ensure that more questionable claims are challenged in the app.
In theory, it could be a valuable addition, I'm just not sure that Musk's efforts to influence similar AI tools is a positive signal for the project.
Either way, X is launching its Community Notes AI program today, with a pilot that'll expand over time.

Nvidia to Pay the U.S. Government 15% of China AI Chip Sales. How Will Its Revenue and Profits Be Impacted?
Key Points Nvidia and AMD have reportedly agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of their revenue from sales of their respective artificial intelligence (AI) data center chips designed for the China market in exchange for obtaining export licenses. This will be a very minor speed bump for Nvidia, whose revenue growth and profitability are phenomenal. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and fellow graphics processing unit (GPU) maker Advanced Micro Devices, or AMD, have agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of their revenue from sales of their respective artificial intelligence (AI) data center chips designed for the China market in exchange for obtaining export licenses for these chips, according to the Financial Times, which first reported the story on Sunday night. The 15% AI chip revenue deal The U.S. Commerce Department began issuing export licenses for Nvidia's H20 chip and AMD's MI308 chip on Friday, the Financial Times (FT) reported on Friday. Nvidia provided a statement to the FT after it broke the government deal story on Sunday night that included the following: "We follow rules the U.S. government sets for our participation in worldwide markets." Background on Nvidia's H20 chip Nvidia had designed the H20 AI-enabling GPU specifically for the Chinese market after earlier U.S. export controls, enacted under the administration of President Joe Biden, meant it couldn't sell its more advanced data center AI chips to China. In mid-April, the Trump administration expanded the restrictions to include the H20. Nvidia immediately halted its sales and took a charge of $4.5 billion on its Q1 results for H20 inventory and purchase commitments. Then in mid-July, Nvidia emailed investors who subscribe to the company's news and said it was "filing applications to sell the Nvidia H20 GPU again. The U.S. government has assured Nvidia that licenses will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon." At the time, there was no mention of giving the government a 15% cut of H20 revenue as a condition for obtaining export licenses. How will Nvidia's revenue be affected by this deal? We can get an estimate as to how this deal will affect Nvidia's financial results by looking at the company's fiscal first quarter, which ended on April 27. In that quarter, Nvidia sold $4.6 billion in H20 chips to China prior to the start of the export controls in mid-April. It said it was unable to ship $2.5 billion in H20 chips that it had already produced due to the export controls. So, had the restrictions not existed, Nvidia would have sold $7.1 billion in H20 chips to China customers in Q1. This amounts to 15.2% of $46.6 billion, which is what its total revenue would have been, absent the export controls. Over 15% of its total revenue is significant, so you can see the importance of Nvidia's China data center business. For its fiscal Q2 (which ended July 27), investors should expect Nvidia to report no sales of its H20 chip, because the export restrictions were in place the entire quarter. However, H20 sales should fully rebound in fiscal Q3 (late July to late October). When Nvidia provided Q2 guidance, it estimated that it would lose about $8 billion in H20 chip sales due to the export controls. So, keeping with roughly the same sequential quarter growth, let's assume Q3 H20 sales will be about $9 billion. In this case, Nvidia would pay the U.S. government $1.35 billion, which is 15% of $9 billion. While $1.35 billion seems like a huge number, it's only a small percentage of Nvidia's overall quarterly revenue. In Q1, Nvidia's total revenue was $44.1 billion -- and it would have been $46.6 billion, had it not "lost" sales of $2.5 billion due to the export restrictions. That $1.35 billion is only 2.9% of $46.6 billion. But the actual Q3 percentage will be smaller because Nvidia's revenue will be higher in Q3 than Q1. A revenue loss of somewhere between 2% to 3% of total sales is a very minor speed bump. Moreover, it's a much better situation than having no H20 sales. How will Nvidia's profitability be affected by this deal? Giving the government a 15% cut of H20 sales revenue should also negatively affect Nvidia's bottom line. But it should be an extremely minor dent, because Nvidia's data center platform is amazingly profitable. On that note, Nvidia overall is amazingly profitable. Nvidia doesn't break out its profitability by platform, so we'll have to use its overall numbers. In Q1, Nvidia's adjusted gross margin (gross profit divided by revenue) absent the $4.5 billion H20-related charge was 71.3%. The company provided its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) absent the charge, so I could calculate adjusted net income absent the charge and then from that calculate adjusted net profit margin (net income divided by revenue) absent the charge -- which would have been 56.1%. In other words, Nvidia converts more than half of its revenue into adjusted profits in a typical quarter, which is just phenomenal. It can easily absorb slightly less profitability on its H20 chips, which, again, account for roughly 15% of its total revenue in a typical quarter. In short, Nvidia stock's strong upward trajectory should not be hurt by the company having to give the government a slice of its H20 sales. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now?
