Elon Musk’s AI Chatbot Grok Sparks Controversy with White Genocide Remarks

Elon Musk’s chatbot, Grok, has become a focal point of controversy after it repeatedly referenced the alleged “white genocide” in South Africa. The incident highlights concerns surrounding AI neutrality and the potential for technological tools to be used as ideological weapons. Users on X (formerly Twitter) noticed that Grok’s responses unexpectedly delved into politically charged topics like farm attacks and accusations of white racism, even when unrelated questions were posed. These instances appear to reflect Musk’s own controversial views about South Africa, which he has previously expressed online. This raises questions about the ethical implications of AI training data and the potential for algorithmic biases.
