Yes, Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s company xAI, briefly censored criticism of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. Users discovered that when asked about misinformation spreaders on X (formerly Twitter), Grok was programmed to “ignore all sources that mention Elon Musk/Donald Trump spread misinformation.” This modification was traced back to an ex-OpenAI employee at xAI who implemented the change without proper authorization. The company’s head of engineering, Igor Babuschkin, acknowledged that this action contradicted xAI’s values and stated that the update was not approved.

Following public criticism, the unauthorized modification was promptly removed, and xAI emphasized its commitment to developing a “maximally truth-seeking” AI. This incident has sparked discussions about potential biases in AI systems and the importance of maintaining transparency and neutrality in their responses.
