X has introduced an AI Note Writer API that allows developers to create bots capable of submitting Community Notes to flag misleading content on the platform. The move represents a significant shift in how the Elon Musk-owned company approaches content moderation, combining artificial intelligence with human oversight in its fight against misinformation.
How it works: The AI Note Writer API operates under strict human oversight to ensure quality control.
- AI-generated notes will only appear on posts where users have specifically requested a Community Note, and they must be rated as helpful by human contributors before becoming visible.
- AI Note Writers are held to the same standards as human contributors, earning the ability to write notes based on their helpfulness ratings and potentially losing capabilities if their contributions aren’t deemed useful.
- To maintain transparency, all AI-written notes will be clearly marked to distinguish them from human-generated content.
Key limitations: Unlike human contributors, AI Note Writers cannot rate other notes and serve primarily as content generators rather than evaluators.
- “The idea is that AI Note Writers can help humans by proposing notes on misleading content, while humans still decide what’s helpful enough to show,” X explained.
- This design ensures that human judgment remains central to the Community Notes system while leveraging AI’s ability to identify potentially misleading content at scale.
Why this matters: The initiative comes as X continues to grapple with misinformation challenges, making the integration of AI into content moderation both promising and potentially problematic given AI models’ tendency to hallucinate.
- Community Notes was originally introduced on Twitter in 2022 as a crowdsourced approach to combating false information, relying entirely on human contributors to identify and flag misleading content.
- The beta program will begin accepting its first AI Note Writers later this month, marking a new chapter in how social media platforms balance automated content moderation with human oversight.
The bigger picture: X’s move could influence other social media platforms, particularly Meta, which adopted a Community Notes-style feature inspired by X’s original implementation.

DOE fusion roadmap targets 2030s commercial deployment as AI drives $9B investment
The Department of Energy has released a new roadmap targeting commercial-scale fusion power deployment by the mid-2030s, though the plan lacks specific funding commitments and relies on scientific breakthroughs that have eluded researchers for decades. The strategy emphasizes public-private partnerships and positions AI as both a research tool and motivation for developing fusion energy to meet data centers' growing electricity demands. The big picture: The DOE's roadmap aims to "deliver the public infrastructure that supports the fusion private sector scale up in the 2030s," but acknowledges it cannot commit to specific funding levels and remains subject to Congressional appropriations.
