Officials Urge Elon Musk to Fix X’s AI Election Error
Five secretaries of state are set to issue an open letter to Elon Musk, urging him to make urgent changes to X’s AI chatbot, Grok. The chatbot recently disseminated incorrect information about ballot deadlines that could mislead voters ahead of the 2024 elections.
Key Points
The letter, led by Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon and signed by counterparts from Pennsylvania, Washington, Michigan, and New Mexico, criticizes Grok for sharing false information regarding ballot deadlines following President Biden's campaign suspension.
Grok's incorrect posts suggested that deadlines had passed for several states.
The secretaries demand that X correct these inaccuracies and direct Grok users to reliable sources like CanIVote.org for accurate election information.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about AI-driven misinformation and the need for social media platforms to address errors promptly.
The letter aims to ensure that voters receive accurate information and prevent similar issues from impacting future elections.
Nvidia’s AI Chip Delay
Concerns about Nvidia's potential delay in launching its Blackwell AI chips may be overstated, according to analysts. Despite reports of a possible three-month setback due to design issues, experts like Bernstein’s Stacy Rasgon argue that this delay is unlikely to significantly impact Nvidia's revenue or market share. With strong demand for Nvidia's existing Grace Hopper chips and continued growth in capex from major tech firms, the company’s dominant position in the AI chip market remains robust. Analysts at TD Cowen also believe that minor delays will be addressed through updates, with overall demand for Nvidia’s chips expected to drive substantial data center revenue into 2025.
