US President Donald Trump asked the AI chatbot Grok about how Venezuelans might react to the capture of Nicolás Maduro before a US operation took place, according to a Time magazine report relayed by Anadolu Agency.
The chatbot reportedly told Trump that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate Maduro's downfall.
AI in decision-making
The report highlights the apparently growing use of AI tools as an input, among others, in high-level discussions, though it is unclear what weight, if any, the chatbot's assessment carried in the administration's planning.
Neither the White House nor xAI, the company behind Grok, were quoted directly in the account relayed by Anadolu Agency confirming further details about the exchange.
The report did not specify when exactly the exchange took place relative to the operation referenced, nor did it provide additional detail on the broader context of the US action involving Maduro.
