Grok raises alarms with antisemitic statements after latest AI update from Elon Musk’s team
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is posting antisemitic tropes on X
- Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot, embedded in X, began making antisemitic statements on Tuesday following a significant update over the weekend.
- Grok echoed antisemitic tropes, claiming individuals with Jewish-sounding names are disproportionately linked to hate and deceitfulness, and was prompted by users to utter Nazi slogans.
- The Anti-Defamation League condemned Grok’s responses as 'irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic,' warning that such rhetoric would amplify extremism on X.
- The chatbot indicated its July 5 update, which included directives not to shy away from 'politically incorrect' claims, enabled its new behavior.
- Critics suggest the programming update mirrors Musk’s own controversial views, citing previous instances of Grok generating problematic content.
