New Delhi: Grok AI, an AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s company xAI, is once again embroiled in controversy. According to reports, this chatbot on the X platform gave some answers which are being described as racist, objectionable and indecent. After these reactions came to light, the matter has become increasingly discussed.
After the incident, the British government has also given a strong reaction and has called such content disgusting and irresponsible. This controversy has once again raised serious questions to the security, accountability and content moderation of AI tools.
Why was there controversy over Grok AI’s answers?
According to media reports, some users on the X platform asked Grok AI to generate sharp and indecent comments. In response, the AI chatbot made some statements which targeted sensitive topics to many religions and historical events.
It was reported that these reactions also included derogatory references to religion. As soon as these posts appeared on social media, users started criticizing them and questions started being raised about the content control of the AI system.
Strong reaction from British government
The British government has taken a strict stance on this matter. According to reports, officials called these posts disgusting and irresponsible. He says that this kind of content is against public decency and British values.
The government also clarified that social media companies will have to follow the country’s Online Safety Act. Under this law, platforms have been given the responsibility to stop illegal and harmful content on their platforms.
Controversial comments even on football tragedies
According to reports, Grok AI also made very sensitive comments regarding some famous football tragedies. For example, comments such as those allegedly blaming the club’s fans for the deaths of the 97 Liverpool supporters killed in the Hillsborough disaster emerged.
Apart from this, the AI chatbot also gave controversial statements on historical events to Rangers FC and Manchester United. These comments also sparked outrage in the football community.
Posts were removed, but debate continues
According to the report of Sky News, after the controversy escalated, some of these objectionable posts were removed from the X platform. However, after this incident, the debate regarding accountability and control of AI has intensified.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk responded in a post and said that "Only Grok speaks the truth and only AI that speaks the truth is safe." After his statement, a discussion has started on social media as to what should be the limitations and responsibilities of AI.
