American journalist and Big Tech founder Alex Kantrowitz emailed X owner Eon Musk about his plans to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) news into social media platforms. he claimed. He claims that Elon Musk plans to bring together AI breaking news and commentary with the help of Grok, X's AI chatbot.
Elon Musk creatively uses Grok AI
The journalist said he tried using Grok but found he couldn't link to the Time article he summarized. He also tried to click on the article to read more, but when he couldn't, he contacted Musk. In response, Musk informed Kantrowitz of upcoming advanced iterations he is working on.
The plan is to build a real-time synthesizer of social media reactions as well as breaking news and social commentary on major stories. The compilation will then be printed live, with the option to dig deeper through chat.
“As more information becomes available, the news summary will be updated to include that information,” Musk reportedly told Kantrowitz. “The goal is simple: to provide the most accurate and timely information possible, citing the most important sources.”

The American journalist doesn't think this is an easy task, but he also believes that the bot's access to the “X firehose” makes it a novel news product. As part of its current functionality, Grok AI displays an up-to-date list of headlines and incorporates social responses into its summaries.
Musk plans to avoid AI copyright lawsuit
Kantrowitz, however, still believes Grok can be improved by focusing on issues such as citations and hallucinations. Based on the plans Elon Musk is considering, Grok will be different and perhaps more controversial than other existing AI news summarization tools.
In the long term, the invention aims to ensure the satisfaction of users, publishers and platforms.
Musk also intends to make the conversation about X a core part of Grok's summary. This approach seems appropriate given that it allows Company X to gain some distance from the publisher lawsuits that are hitting several of his AI companies. OpenAI and Microsoft were recently sued by eight newspapers for copyright infringement. This is separate from the lawsuit filed by the New York Times against the companies.
Meanwhile, no clues were given as to when this integration would take place or if it would eventually be completed.
