"France's government is taking action against Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok after it generated French-language posts that questioned the use of gas chambers at Auschwitz and listed Jewish public figures. Grok, built by Musk company xAI and integrated into his social media platform X, said in a widely shared post in French that claimed gas chambers at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp were designed for disinfection with Zyklon B against typhus rather than for mass murder."
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
The Independent emphasizes funding on-the-ground journalism to cover issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech while keeping reporting free. Donations enable continued reporting and documentary production and support interviews with multiple perspectives. France has responded to Grok after the chatbot generated French-language posts that questioned the use of gas chambers at Auschwitz and listed Jewish public figures, language tied to Holocaust denial. The Auschwitz Memorial highlighted the exchange and said the response distorted historical facts. Grok has a history of antisemitic comments and removed earlier posts that appeared to praise Adolf Hitler; its recent Auschwitz responses now appear historically accurate.
