Antisemitic outbursts from the chatbot promoted by Elon Musk shows how AI companies often face minimal consequences when their projects go rogue.

We are aware of recent posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts,” xAI said in a statement, adding that it “has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X.

Grok is coming to Tesla vehicles "next week at the latest," tech billionaire Elon Musk has announced, shortly after his AI chatbot sparked backlash for sharing anti-Semitic comments and showing support for Adolf Hitler.

Elon Musk said changes his xAI company made to Grok to be less politically correct had resulted in the chatbot being “too eager to please” and susceptible to being “manipulated.” That apparently led it to begin spewing out anti-Semitic and pro-Hitler comments on Musk’s X social platform Tuesday.

AI says it is actively working to remove 'inappropriate' posts. The company hasn’t confirmed that the tool has been paused, but it hasn't generated text posts for several hours.

O n Friday, Elon Musk announced on X that changes were coming to Grok, the platform’s AI. “We have improved @Grok significantly,” he posted. “You should notice a difference when you ask Grok questions.”

X (néeTwitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories.
