Keller-Sutter is investigating whether X has a duty of care regarding Grok's harmful outputs. If found liable, changes to Grok's safeguards may be necessary.

Global regulators may soon update laws to address the risks posed by chatbots. Concerns about online abuse and gender bias in technology could hinder women's engagement with AI tools, impacting their social and economic participation.
