Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI has attributed a series of controversial responses by its Grok chatbot—including references to the discredited claim of “white genocide” in South Africa—to an unauthorized modification of the bot’s system prompt. The incident, which saw the chatbot referencing “white genocide” in unrelated queries, highlights concerns about internal controls and AI moderation. xAI responded by announcing new oversight measures, improved review processes, and plans to make the system prompts publicly available on GitHub. The event underscores broader issues of misinformation and political manipulation involving AI platforms, as the claim referenced has been widely spread by figures like Donald Trump but rejected by South African officials.
