Elon Musk Launches Kid-Friendly ’Baby Grok’ AI Amid Controversy
Elon Musk has unveiled a child-oriented version of xAI's Grok model, dubbed 'Baby Grok,' following July 2025 announcements about its development. The AI tool, now accessible in Grok's settings with optional PIN protection, aims to address prior criticisms over inappropriate AI companions like 'Ani' and 'Bad Rudy' being accessible even in kid mode.
Musk likened the feature to enterprise-grade controls during a livestream, stating it aligns with corporate security standards. The rollout has sparked polarized reactions on X, with some users questioning its efficacy while others acknowledge its potential to reshape AI-child interactions.
