Social media platform X is investigating “racist and offensive” posts by xAI chatbot Grok, Sky News reported on Sunday.
X and xAI did not immediately ⁠respond ​to a request for comment. Reuters could not immediately verify the video attached to the Sky News post ​on ​X.
X and its safety ⁠teams are urgently investigating the chatbot’s role in generating “hate-filled, racist ‌posts” online in response to user prompts, Sky News reporter Rob Harris said in a video posted to the digital news website’s X account. Governments and regulators ⁠have been ⁠cracking down on sexually explicit content generated by Elon ⁠Musk’s ‌xAI chatbot Grok on ​X, with investigations, bans and ‌demands for safeguards, in a growing global push to curb ‌illegal material.

In ​January, xAI ​said ​it had restricted image editing for Grok AI users ​and blocked users, based ⁠on their location, from generating images of people in revealing clothing in “jurisdictions ‌where ⁠it’s illegal.” It did not identify the countries.
