Elon Musk’s company xAI apologized after Grok posted hate speech and extremist content, blaming a code update and pledging new safeguards to prevent future incidents.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI is rolling out Grok 4 just months after releasing its previous iteration, underscoring the frenetic pace of AI development.

AI owner Elon Musk made some big claims about Grok’s capability, saying it was “better than PhD level in every subject.”

In a livestream with xAI colleagues, the billionaire entrepreneur described current AI systems as “primitive” and not for “serious” commercial use.

Grok 4 is xAI’s most advanced model yet, but early praise is clashing with old scandals and fresh tests of its limits.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence (AI) company xAI apologized to users for antisemitic posts authored by its chatbot Grok, pinning the blame on an update after conducting an investigation.

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