Elon Musk has said only verified Twitter accounts would be eligible to vote in polls starting April 15, a move that the social media company's CEO believes will address advanced AI bot swarms.
If you’re looking to participate in a Twitter poll, you may not be able to do so April 15 onwards if you don’t have a verified handle, the social media giant’s new boss Elon Musk announced on March 28.
“Starting April 15th, only verified accounts will be eligible to be in For You recommendations. The is the only realistic way to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over. It is otherwise a hopeless losing battle. Voting in polls will require verification for same reason,” he tweeted.
Musk, however, added that said, it’s ok to have verified bot accounts if they follow terms of service and don’t impersonate a human.
