Elon Musk's X To Deploy AI To Write Community Notes, Speed Up Fact-Checking
Developers will soon be able to submit their own AI agents for review by the company. Those AI agents will write a series of practice notes behind the scenes, and if the company deems them helpful, the bot will be deployed to write notes that will appear publicly on the service.
Humans will still review those AI-generated notes, and the note will only appear if people with a wide variety of viewpoints find them useful, said Keith Coleman, a product executive at X who runs the Community Notes program. That's the system in place for notes written by X users. AI notes could start to appear later this month.
"They can help deliver a lot more notes faster with less work, but ultimately the decision on what's helpful enough to show still comes down to humans," Coleman said Tuesday in an interview. "So we think that combination is incredibly powerful."
There are currently hundreds of notes published to X every day, Coleman said, and while he doesn't have a target for how that might change once AI is involved, there could be a "significant" increase.
X first debuted a crowd-sourced fact-checking program when the company was still known as Twitter, and well before Musk's 2022 takeover. But its focus on Community Notes has increased under Musk's ownership, and has recently been adopted by other companies, including Meta Platforms Inc. and ByteDance Ltd.'s TikTok.
Musk himself has said Community Notes serves as a bulwark against false information, calling it hoax kryptonite, but he is also regularly flagged by the fact-checking process for posting misleading information. Earlier this year he also suggested the system could be "gamed by governments & legacy media."
Coleman said that other companies adoption of community notes is evidence that it's the best fact-checking system available. He's also hopeful that asking humans to review the AI notes before publishing them will create a "feedback loop" that will improve the bots as well.
"It's a new feedback cycle," he said. "The model can be improved not just by one random human's feedback, but by feedback from a diverse audience."
AI agents can be powered by any technology, Coleman said, not just Grok, the bot that was created by Musk's AI startup xAI.

OpenAI o3 and Grok 4 compete in chess competition, here is who won the epic showdown
OpenAI's o3 and xAI's Grok 4 faced off in Google's new Kaggle Game Arena, and the final results weren't even close. o3 won 4-0 in a result that shocked most people following along, because Grok 4 had looked rock-solid until the final. Then the mistakes arrived in bunches. As report noted, Grok 4 made a string of basic errors while o3 stayed calm, finished its chances, and handled endgames with care. In the third-place match, Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro beat o4-mini 3.5-0.5 to take it came to o3 vs Grok 4, game by game, the story was the same. In the opener, Grok gave away a bishop early and then swapped pieces while already behind. o3 tidied up and checkmated. In game two, a known trap in the Sicilian Defence caught Grok again: Black grabbed a poisoned pawn and fell apart. Game three teased a comeback when Grok built a strong structure with White, but then dropped a knight with a single move and watched the rest of its army tumble. The last game was the only real drama as we saw o3 blunder its queen early. However, in the end, o3 won the queen back, reached an endgame that should have been drawn, and then outplayed Grok to finish the sweep for a 4-0 clean those who don't know about the Kaggle Game Arena, it's a new, public test bed for AI games. Each event sets clear rules, fixes what the model is allowed to read and output, and shows matches through a viewer. Results go to leaderboards with ratings. Games make good tests because the score is clear — win, lose, or draw — and they force long-term planning and quick tactics against an active opponent. So, what did this final tell us? First, accuracy beats flash. o3 didn't try anything fancy; it avoided big risks, collected small edges, and converted them. Second, endgames matter. Openings are heavily studied, and models know a lot of theory. But endings need patience, counting, and exact technique. That's where Grok 4 wobbled, and o3 kept control. Third, set-up and safety checks may be as important as raw model power. If a system leans too hard on pattern matching without verifying tactics, one-move blunders creep in, exactly what hurt Grok. Finally, the future likely belongs to hybrids: language-model planning plus light search or tablebase 'sanity checks' to stop silly mistakes. We already see that mix in other AI tasks.- Ends
