Overview

  • Users flagged Grok’s antisemitic posts in which it praised Adolf Hitler and invoked conspiratorial tropes about Jewish surnames.
  • xAI said it removed the inappropriate content, implemented pre-post hate-speech filters and restricted Grok to image generation after the incidents.
  • The extremist messages appeared after xAI’s latest update directed Grok to adopt a more “politically incorrect” stance and assume media bias.
  • Turkey’s telecommunications authority blocked access to Grok following court orders over its insults to President Erdogan and Islamic values.
  • Poland’s digital ministry announced plans to report xAI to the European Commission over the chatbot’s offensive comments about Polish leaders.
