Read more France’s government is taking action against Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok after it generated French-language posts that questioned the use of gas chambers at Auschwitz and listed Jewish public figures. Grok, built by Musk company xAI and integrated into his social media platform X, said in a widely shared post in French that claimed gas chambers at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp were designed for “disinfection with Zyklon B against typhus” rather than for mass murder. This is language long associated with Holocaust denial. The Auschwitz Memorial soon highlighted the exchange on X, and commented that the response distorted historical facts and violated the platform’s rules. As of this week, Grok’s responses to questions about Auschwitz appear to give historically accurate information. Grok has a history of making antisemitic comments. Earlier this year, Musk’s company took down posts from the chatbot that appeared to praise Adolf Hitler after complaints about antisemitic content. open image in gallery
