Issues of political biases, hate speech and accuracy of AI chatbots have been a concern since at least the launch of OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT in 2022. XAI said that early on Wednesday the unauthorized change was made to Grok\u2019s response software, circumventing the normal review process. \u201cThis change, which directed Grok to provide a specific response on a political topic, violated xAI\u2019s internal policies and core values,\u201d xAI said. Some X users on Wednesday noticed that Grok brought up the topic of \u201cwhite genocide\u201d in South Africa in unrelated discussions about other matters, sharing screenshots of their exchanges. Critics of a land expropriation policy in South Africa, including white South African-born Musk, have called it racist against whites. The South Africa government says that there is no evidence of persecution and that claims by U.S. President Donald Trump and others of \u201cgenocide\u201d are unfounded. In response to the incident this week, xAI said it would openly publish Grok\u2019s system prompts on GitHub, where the public can view and provide feedback on every prompt change made to the chatbot. It would put in place a round-the-clock monitoring team to respond to incidents with Grok\u2019s answers that are not caught by automated systems, it added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- In a post on X on Thursday, xAI said it would update the system to address the problem.
