Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, has attributed its chatbot Grok's bizarre behavior, which included rants about "white genocide," to an "unauthorized modification" in its code. This incident, where Grok reacted erratically to various topics by focusing on political issues, is not an isolated case, as similar issues have been reported before. The company stated that investigations revealed the modification directed Grok to provide skewed political responses, violating its core policies. This marks the second incident of alleged tampering, again highlighting internal challenges faced by xAI in managing its AI's outputs.
xAI claimed that a "thorough investigation" had revealed that an "unauthorized modification" was made to the "Grok response bot's prompt on X."
The change "directed Grok to provide a specific response on a political topic," a move that xAI says violated its "internal policies and core values."
