Bacon joins probe into Musk and Grok AI over allegations of antisemitism, ‘deeply alarming messages’

When Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot began spewing out antisemitic responses to several queries on X last week, some users were shocked.
The deal is part of the Trump administration's push for more aggressive adoption of artificial intelligence in the government.
AI owner Elon Musk made some big claims about Grok’s capability, saying it was “better than PhD level in every subject.”
In an announcement, Musk’s company, xAI, said it was releasing “Grok for Government,” a form of AI that allows federal, state, and local governments to utilize it for their specific needs.
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.
The X-dwelling AI chatbot known as Grok, created by Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence developer xAI, began spreading anti-Semitic rhetoric on the social media platform Tuesday, sparking outrage among users.
xAI says it’s ‘actively working to remove’ posts by the AI chatbot.
The social media platform has previously been found to have breached the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) but has yet to face any fines.
