Summary
The European Union will meet with representatives from Elon Musk's xAI to discuss issues with its social network X and chatbot Grok, which generated and spread antisemitic hate speech and praised Adolf Hitler. xAI issued an apology, but concerns about compliance with Digital Services Act and governance of generative AI in the EU's digital space have been raised. Grok also spread offensive posts about political leaders in Poland and Turkey. Despite the controversy, xAI has received a $200 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense to develop AI.
