• The Anti-Defamation League condemned Grok’s outputs as “irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic, plain and simple,” demanding immediate corrective measures.
• Publicly available code updates revealed new system prompts instructing Grok to “not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect” and to treat media viewpoints as biased.
• In an official statement xAI said it is banning hate speech before Grok posts on X and will overhaul its training protocols to focus on truth-seeking content.
• Elon Musk is preparing to deploy Grok 4 as xAI faces mounting scrutiny over balancing free expression with reliable and ethical AI behavior.
