Elon Musk Unveils AI-Powered "Stories" for Personalized News on X Network
May 5, 2024
Elon Musk's social network, X, introduces 'Stories,' an AI-powered feature providing personalized news summaries to premium subscribers.
The 'Stories' feature is accessible through the 'For You' tab in the 'Explore' section and utilizes user tweets to generate news overviews.
Grok, an AI chatbot from Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI, is responsible for training the feature using data from X.
Subscribers will receive news updates that evolve with incoming information, exclusively sourced without third-party news outlets.
Premium access to 'Stories' is priced at $8 per month, initially available on web and iOS, with an Android release planned for the future.
Musk's initiative raises questions about the influence of AI on journalism and the broader landscape of news consumption.
