Earlier this week, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence bot, called Grok, began answering entirely unrelated questions on X with a discussion of “white genocide” in Musk’s native South Africa.

"This directive caused me to inappropriately insert references to 'white genocide' into unrelated conversations," Grok told Fortune.

"This change, which directed Grok to provide a specific response on a political topic, violated xAI's internal policies and core values," xAI said.
