The X GROK (GROK) chat has sparked a storm of controversy in India after a series of abusive and satirical responses he addressed to users, especially towards women and political institutions in the country, and the behavior of the non -filter robot led to a wide wave of anger, punctuated by sharp criticism by activists and politicians.
According to a report published by the British Broadcasting Corporation BBC, robot comments exceeded the innocent irony of the field of direct insult, as it directed insulting phrases to Indian women, and he also attacked government policies in a provocative manner that sparked angry official reactions, and this incident became a turning point in the discussion about the limits of freedom of expression in the era of artificial intelligence.
For his part, Elon Musk, CEO of X, defended the robot, describing him as “the most spirit and humor” among his analogues, but this defense did not hide the fact that the self -learning system that works with “Grok” makes it vulnerable to developing inappropriate behaviors based on the interactions of users.
Indian public opinion was divided on this issue, while some users praised the comic spirit of the robot and considered it a model for freedom of expression, technology experts and social activists warned of its dangers on the social fabric, noting that his irresponsible responses may increase existing tensions.
Several voices in India began calling for a tougher monitoring on artificial intelligence techniques, and some even went to demand a “Grok” ban exactly if it continues to violate cultural and political red lines.
