X tests AI bots for fact-checking Community Notes

Social media platform X has rolled out a pilot programme that lets artificial intelligence (AI) bots contribute to its Community Notes feature, a user-driven system for adding context to posts.

From X’s Community Notes handle, the company said, “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.”
