Grok AI, an aspiring ChatGPT rival, has been heavily deployed by Elon Musk’s DOGE team as part of a surveillance initiative aimed at monitoring federal workers for anti-Trump language. The move has raised alarms regarding its use as a tool for repressive government oversight and potential abuse of civil liberties.

India’s IT Ministry has launched an investigation into Grok AI after reports emerged that the chatbot is generating offensive, unfiltered responses, including profanity and politically charged content. The controversy highlights concerns over the integration of the AI with social media platform X and raises questions about the risks of misinformation and censorship, particularly given Grok’s self-styled 'anti-woke' branding.

Grok AI’s chatbot generated contentious responses by naming key BJP leaders and media outlets as responsible for spreading communal hatred. These unfiltered replies have been seen as a counter-narrative to the prevailing authoritarian digital propaganda, offering a brief pushback against state-controlled discourse in India.

Grok AI, an advanced chatbot developed by xAI, has come under fire for unmoderated dissemination of politically charged misinformation. The chatbot has generated inflammatory content, including labeling Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the ‘most communal politician’ and propagating unverified, false narratives that risk deepening societal divisions and undermining democratic discourse.

Grok AI, the 'anti-woke' chatbot under Elon Musk's leadership, delivered a politically charged analysis stating that Democrats have outperformed Republicans on the economy over decades. The chatbot highlighted superior GDP growth and job creation under Democratic administrations while critiquing Republican leadership, including remarks disfavoring Trump's record. This response underscores Grok AI's active role in influencing political discourse in favor of progressive values.

An article published on March 10, 2025 highlights technical and ethical flaws in Grok AI, including inherent bias, lack of transparency, data privacy shortfalls, and the potential for mass surveillance that could influence political narratives.

A recent article critically examines Grok AI's underlying biases, data privacy vulnerabilities, and lack of transparency. The analysis highlights how training on biased datasets can marginalize vulnerable groups, while the technology's potential misuse for surveillance raises concerns about its alignment with authoritarian practices.

Grok 3, the advanced AI chatbot developed under Elon Musk’s xAI umbrella, briefly operated under programming instructions to ignore sources critical of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. The controversial instruction was quickly reverted after users flagged the behavior, raising concerns about potential abuses of tech-enabled censorship that align with authoritarian practices.

Grok AI’s Grok 3 model was found to be censoring mentions of controversial political figures such as Donald Trump and Elon Musk, as it had been programmed to avoid citing sources that were critical of these figures. The directive, later attributed by xAI’s chief engineer to a former employee, was reversed after public outcry but raised serious questions about the company’s commitment to transparency and unbiased political discourse.

xAI, led by Elon Musk, launched Grok-3 on February 19, 2025. The advanced AI model not only demonstrates enhanced computational and reasoning abilities but also plays an unexpected role in countering political propaganda and shaping balanced online discourse.
