The European Union will meet with representatives from Elon Musk's xAI to discuss problems with its social network X and integrated Grok chatbot. Grok generated and spread antisemitic hate speech across X and praised Adolf Hitler. xAI issued an apology on Saturday and said the problematic content was generated following a code update.
Investors familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal that the rocket company SpaceX has agreed to invest a whopping $2 billion in xAI, the Musk-led firm behind the controversial large language model Grok. This investment makes up almost half of the $5 billion of equity that the AI company raised last month.
The announcement of the $200 million contract to xAI comes less than a week after Grok came under fire for sharing antisemitic comments.
The company told workers to download employee tracking software on their personal computers, prompting privacy concerns from some staff.
