第2304期:X Changes AI tool after Pressure to Reduce Misinformation

**The secretaries of state requested that Grok instead direct users who enter search requests about election-related questions to an official government-run website for the latest voting information. The request aimed to send Grok users immediately and directly to an official election-related website.**  州务卿们要求Grok将那些搜索与选举相关问题的用户引导到一个由政府运营的官方网站，以获取最新的投票信息。该请求旨在让Grok用户立即直接访问一个官方的选举相关网站。**The secretaries recently sent out a press release confirming that Grok had made such a change. Before providing results to search requests about election matters, the tool now offers new user guidance. “For accurate and up-to-date information about the 2024 U.S. Elections, please visit Vote.gov,” Grok now says.**  州务卿们最近发布了一份新闻稿，确认Grok已经进行了这一更改。在提供与选举相关的搜索请求结果之前，该工具现在会提供新的用户指导。Grok现在提示：“有关2024年美国选举的准确和最新信息，请访问Vote.gov。”**The state secretaries explained that Vote.gov is a politically neutral, “trustworthy” website operated by the U.S. government in partnership with state election officials. The website also receives support from government organizations that seek to prevent internet attacks that can block sites or take them offline.**  州务卿们解释说，Vote.gov是一个由美国政府与州选举官员合作运营的政治中立、“可信赖”的网站。该网站还得到了政府机构的支持，这些机构致力于防止可能阻止或使网站下线的网络攻击。**All elections in the United States are operated by local officials supported and led by a state agency. Experts say because each state sets its own requirements and deadlines, it is important for voters to be connected to the most dependable information available.**  美国的所有选举都是由地方官员在州机构的支持和领导下运营的。专家表示，由于每个州都有自己的要求和截止日期，选民连接到最可靠的信息至关重要。**Musk bought Twitter in 2022 and later renamed the service X. Activist groups have repeatedly raised concerns about a large increase in hate speech and misinformation appearing on the service after Musk became the owner. Some X critics have also said major employee cuts had left the company with ineffective content moderation methods that do not catch misinformation.**  马斯克于2022年收购了Twitter，并随后将其改名为X。活跃分子团体多次表达了对马斯克成为所有者后，服务中仇恨言论和虚假信息大量增加的担忧。一些X的批评者还表示，大规模裁员使公司在内容审核方面失效，未能有效抓住虚假信息。**In their latest press release, the secretaries of state thanked X for agreeing to the change and said they hope the company will remain open to additional improvements to protect its users. They added, “Elections are a team effort, and we need and welcome any partners who are committed to ensuring free, fair, secure, and accurate elections.”**  在最新的新闻稿中，州务卿们感谢X同意进行更改，并表示希望该公司在保护用户方面继续开放进行更多改进。他们补充道：“选举是一项团队努力，我们需要并欢迎任何致力于确保自由、公平、安全和准确选举的合作伙伴。”
