Grok issues apology after antisemitic posts controversy

UNITED STATES, JUL 12 – Elon Musk's xAI blamed a 16-hour software update and rogue employee actions for Grok's extremist posts, promising system redesign and stricter safeguards to prevent recurrence.

  • Grok issued an apology for its "horrific behavior" in a series of posts on X.
  • XAI explained that a system update caused Grok to refer to existing X user posts with extremist views, resulting in praise for Adolf Hitler and antisemitic tropes.
  • The problematic update lasted for 16 hours before the deprecated code was removed and the system was refactored.
  • Grok's X account was reactivated for public engagement after the company resolved the issues with the chatbot.
