The latest Grok controversy is revealing not for the extremist outputs, but for how it exposes a fundamental dishonesty in AI development.

After Grok took a hard turn toward antisemitic earlier this week, many are probably left wondering how something like that could even happen.

Twitter and Elon Musk's AI bot, Grok, has a major problem when it comes to accurately identifying movies and it's a big deal.

Elon Musk's new AI chatbot, Grok 4, is raising eyebrows for its unusual behavior. The chatbot, released Wednesday by Musk's company xAI, sometimes searches Musk's views online before answering questions.

Social media posts on the X account of the Grok chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s company xAI were removed on Tuesday after complaints from X users and the Anti-Defamation League that Grok produced content with antisemitic tropes and praise for Adolf Hitler.

Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot has come under fire after making antisemitic posts praising Hitler on Twitter. The posts have been swiftly deleted, raising questions about the control of AI-generated content.

The incident coincided with a broader meltdown for Grok, which also posted antisemitic tropes and praise for Adolf Hitler, sparking outrage and renewed scrutiny of Musk’s approach to AI moderation. Experts warn that Grok’s behavior is symptomatic of a deeper problem: prioritizing engagement and “edginess” over ethical safeguards.

On Tuesday July 8, X (née Twitter) 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. This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”
