Secretaries of state urge Elon Musk to fix AI chatbot spreading false election info


Grok, the AI search assistant on Musk’s X platform, suggested that Kamala Harris had missed the ballot deadline in nine states.

She hasn’t.

👉 Five secretaries of state plan to send an open letter to billionaire Elon Musk on Monday,

urging him to ⭐️“immediately implement changes” ⭐️to X’s AI chatbot Grok,

after it shared with millions of users #false #information suggesting that ❌Kamala Harris was not eligible to appear on the 2024 presidential ballot.❌

The letter, spearheaded by Minnesota Secretary of State Steve #Simon and signed by his counterparts Al #Schmidt of Pennsylvania, Steve #Hobbs of Washington, Jocelyn #Benson of Michigan and Maggie Toulouse #Oliver of New Mexico,
urges Musk to ♦️“immediately implement changes to X’s AI search assistant, Grok, to ensure voters have accurate information in this critical election year.”♦️


Within hours of President Biden’s announcement that he was suspending his presidential campaign on July 21,
“false information on ballot deadlines produced by Grok was shared on multiple social media platforms,” the secretaries wrote.


The secretaries cited a post from Grok that circulated after Biden stepped out of the race:
“The ballot deadline has passed for several states for the 2024 election,” the post read,

naming nine states: Alabama, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington.

Had the deadlines passed in those states,
the vice president would not have been able to replace Biden on the ballot.

But the information was false.

In all nine states, the ballot deadlines have not passed
and upcoming ballot deadlines allow for changes to candidates.
