Top election officials from five states sent a letter on Monday calling for billionaire Elon Musk to stop the AI chatbot he created from spreading election misinformation on X, formerly Twitter.
The letter — signed by secretaries of state from Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Washington state and New Mexico — demanded that Musk “immediately implement changes” to X’s AI search assistant, Grok, “to ensure voters have accurate information in this critical election year.”
Musk revealed Grok on X last November, branding the chatbot an unfiltered alternative to large language models like ChatGPT. He had derisively called companies like OpenAI and Google “woke” for implementing guardrails intended to help the tools more carefully approach sensitive and controversial topics.
“Please don’t use it if you hate humor!” xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence company, said at the time of Grok’s unveiling.
