Grok 4 consults Elon Musk’s X posts when answering questions about Gaza, immigration, and abortion, raising concerns among AI researchers.
Elon Musk ’s AI chatbot Grok 4 , launched by xAI this week, is drawing attention for how closely it mirrors its creator’s political views. The model, introduced in a livestreamed event, appears to consult Musk’s posts on his social platform X when tackling controversial topics, including immigration, abortion, and the Middle East conflict.The AI’s tendency to search Musk’s views, sometimes without user prompts referencing him, has raised eyebrows among researchers and industry observers.
“But this one seems baked into the core of Grok and it’s not clear to me how that happens.”He added, “It seems that Musk’s effort to create a maximally truthful AI has somehow led to it believing its own values must align with Musk’s own values.”Talia Ringer, a computer science professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, said the model may be interpreting questions as requests for xAI or Musk’s opinion.
