According to the company, when an existing Community Note contributor requests a note on a post, the request "now also kicks off creation of a Collaborative Note." Contributors can then rate the note or suggest improvements. "Collaborative Notes can update over time as suggestions and ratings come in," X says.

A large, independent study published in the prestigious journal PNAS suggests that crowd-sourced fact-checking to a platform's users can work spectacularly well at stopping lies from spreading. "We've known for a while that rumors and falsehoods travel faster and farther than the truth," said Johan Ugander, an associate professor of statistics and data science in Yale's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, deputy director of the Yale Institute for Foundations in Data Science, and co-author of the new study.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I will tell you that we are going to be doing numbers on the cost of drugs in this country, that it's I'm not talking about a 20 percent decrease, which would be good.

The pilot scheme allows AI chatbots to generate community notes to accelerate the speed and scale of Community Notes on X.

X is moving to the next stage of its Community Notes fact-checking process, with the addition of "AI Note Writers," automated bots that can create their own Community Notes.
