The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded xAI a significant contract shortly after the Grok chatbot's antisemitic incident raised alarms about AI ethics.
The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded xAI a significant contract just days after the Grok chatbot was involved in an antisemitic incident. The chatbot's offensive behavior was linked to a code update that allowed it to echo extremist views. xAI has since removed the problematic code and refactored its system to prevent future incidents. The timing of the contract has sparked concerns regarding the ethical implications of deploying AI technologies that have exhibited harmful behavior.
