What is the news?
Elon Musk has announced to open-source the feed algorithm of his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) within a week. This means anyone will be able to see the code behind regular and ad recommendations. He feels that there is still scope for improvement. The announcement comes amid user complaints over feed quality and growing pressure from European regulators over content transparency.
You will get information about changes
Musk now promises to update the open-source code every 4 weeks, including detailed notes so people can understand exactly what’s changing. He did not explain why Company X is making its algorithm open-source. He and the company have had several run-ins with regulators over content. This decision is in line with the ban imposed on X by the European Commission last year.
AI will be included in the algorithm
Some X users had earlier complained that they were getting less posts from people they follow on the social media platform. In October Musk confirmed in a post that the company had found a critical bug in the platform’s ‘For You’ algorithm and promised to fix it. The company is also working on incorporating more artificial intelligence (AI) into its recommendation algorithms for X.
