Elon Musk's social media platform X is reportedly investigating whether posts generated by Grok AI, the chatbot developed by xAI, violated its safety policies.
According to a Sunday report by Sky News, X's safety teams are reviewing the chatbot's responses after users posted screenshots showing Grok generating what were described as "hate-filled, racist posts" in reply to prompts.
Reporter Rob Harris said in a video shared on X that the company is examining the chatbot's role in producing racist and offensive content online."
According to him, users are prompting Grok to generate “highly racist, offensive language” against Hinduism and Islam. Grok was also reported to have falsely blamed Liverpool F.C. fans for the Hillsborough disaster.
The chatbot also faced backlash for generating sexualized images of women.
X and xAI did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comments.
The incident comes as governments and regulators globally intensify scrutiny of AI-generated content.
Authorities have already examined Grok over concerns about sexually explicit images generated on the platform.
Earlier this year, xAI said it introduced restrictions to curb misuse.
The company limited image-editing features and blocked users in certain locations from generating images of people in revealing clothing in jurisdictions where such material is illegal.
In January, the American Federation of Teachers shut down its presence on X after Grok generated sexually explicit images of minors, raising serious child safety concerns.
