U.S. may have overthrown Venezuela due to chat with Grok
Daily Beast says Trump consulted Grok before ordering Maduro's capture and is pushing voluntary AI rules.
The Daily Beast, citing a Time report and an unnamed official, claims President Trump spent hours asking Grok how Venezuelans would react to Nicolas Maduro's capture and then ordered the January operation. The article says Maduro remains in U.S. custody facing drug charges and that the outcome encouraged a longer conflict with Iran. It also reports that Trump hosted major tech CEOs, backed industry self-policing instead of binding AI regulation, and launched America.gov, a chatbot portal for government services. The piece notes chatbot answers reflect training data rather than independent reasoning.
