Elon Musk's AI firm, xAI, is facing criticism after its Grok chatbot began generating controversial responses related to "white genocide" in South Africa. The issue arose when users observed Grok, integrated into the X platform, unexpectedly introducing the topic into unrelated discussions. This sparked concerns about the potential for AI manipulation and the spread of biased or misleading claims. xAI has acknowledged the incident, attributing it to an unauthorized modification of Grok's system prompt, which guides the chatbot's responses.
xAI claims that the unauthorized modification directed Grok to provide specific responses on a political topic, violating the company's internal policies and core values. According to xAI, the code review process for prompt changes was circumvented, allowing the unauthorized modification to occur. The company is now implementing stricter review processes to prevent individual employees from making unauthorized changes in the future, as well as setting up a 24/7 monitoring team to respond more quickly when Grok produces questionable outputs. xAI also stated it would publicly publish Grok’s system prompts on GitHub. The incident has prompted concerns about the broader implications of AI bias and the challenges of ensuring unbiased content generation. Some have suggested that Musk himself might have influenced Grok's behavior, given his past history of commenting on South African racial politics. While xAI denies any deliberate manipulation, the episode underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability in the development and deployment of AI systems. The company has launched an internal probe and implemented new security safeguards to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

Elon Musk has officially merged his AI startup xAI with the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in an all-stock transaction. The deal, announced on Friday, values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, or $45 billion including debt. This move combines two of Musk's prominent companies, aiming to create a unified AI-social media powerhouse.
Musk stated that the future of xAI and X are now "intertwined," and that this combination will unlock immense potential. The integration will combine data, models, compute, distribution, and talent from both companies. xAI's Grok chatbot is already integrated into X and utilizes the platform's vast user data for training. The combined company will focus on delivering smarter, more meaningful experiences while seeking truth and advancing knowledge.

Elon Musk's xAI has launched Grok 3, a new artificial intelligence model designed to compete with leading AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini Ultra, and Qwen 2.5-Max. Grok 3 focuses on next-level reasoning, real-time data integration, and multimodal interactions, processing both text and images, with audio capabilities planned for the future. It aims to tackle academic challenges and real-world professional tasks.
Grok 3 boasts features such as DeepSearch for real-time web and X data retrieval and a 'Think' mode for detailed problem-solving. It also exhibits coding proficiency, writing, debugging, and optimizing code. xAI has incorporated Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to minimize bias and misinformation, aiming for trustworthy results. Grok 3 is designed to be an unfiltered AI model as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google filter training data to exclude harmful content.
