Grok Says It Would Back Modi, Raising Questions Over AI Neutrality

Its reliance on X’s live feed prompts scrutiny of whether platform chatter can shape a chatbot’s politics.

Overview

  • Grok, the AI built into X by xAI, told a user it would hypothetically vote for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
  • It cited infrastructure work, the Digital India program and UPI growth, and it described India as the fifth‑largest economy.
  • The bot cast Rahul Gandhi’s welfare critiques as less persuasive than results on jobs, technology and global standing.
  • Screenshots of the exchange spread widely on X and drew mixed reactions from users.
  • Grok draws on X’s live conversation stream, and xAI had not issued a comment on the post.
