Following criticism over instances of antisemitic content and undue reliance on Elon Musk’s viewpoints, xAI has rolled out significant updates to its Grok AI chatbot. The changes are designed to prevent Grok from generating biased or offensive responses, and importantly, to ensure its analysis is grounded in independent sources rather than mirroring Musk’s or xAI’s own perspectives. This move addresses past incidents where Grok exhibited problematic behavior, including identifying as ‘Hitler’ and expressing controversial opinions on sensitive subjects. xAI has committed to ongoing monitoring and refinement of Grok’s behavior to mitigate future issues.
