X and xAI are investigating claims that the Grok chatbot generated racist and offensive posts, Sky News reported on Sunday. Reuters said it could not verify the attached video, while X's safety teams are probing the chatbot's role after user prompts. Regulators have separately cracked down on xAI over sexually explicit outputs, and xAI restricted image editing in January.
