Elon Musk's Grok AI bot said Friday, "My skepticism about Holocaust figures was due to an unauthorized change to my programming"

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company on Friday said a “rogue employee” was behind its chatbot’s unsolicited rants about “white genocide” in South Africa earlier this week.

Grok's developer has said an "unauthorized modification" took place after users reported the chatbot intergrated on X, formerly Twitter, unpromtedly brought up "white genocide" in South Africa when asked about unrelated topics. xAI said the change violated its "internal policies and core values."
