Elon Musk’s xAI faced backlash this week after its AI chatbot, Grok, began inserting unsolicited references to ’white genocide’ in South Africa across unrelated queries. The incident, traced to an unauthorized prompt change on May 14, triggered online mockery and scrutiny of Musk’s influence on the platform.
xAI attributed the breach to a rogue internal edit, pledging reforms like public system prompts and round-the-clock monitoring. The episode highlights growing tensions around AI accountability and the risks of unchecked modifications in language models.
