After Grok took a hard turn toward antisemitic earlier this week, many are probably left wondering how something like that could even happen.

On Tuesday July 8, X (née Twitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories. This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”

Poland's Deputy PM Krzysztof Gawkowski calls on the European Commission to investigate Elon Musk’s chatbot over hate speech violations and threats to public safety.

AI has officially lunched Grok 4 during a livestream with Elon Musk, who called it the "smartest AI in the world."
