"Grok's unhinged mode enables users to prompt the bot to deliver vulgar roasts of any person or entity, which will then see the AI bot unleash a tirade of abusive comments. Those comments can veer into offensive territory, which, according to Sky News, the U.K. government has deemed "sickening and irresponsible," and in some cases, against British values."
"According to a report from The Athletic, over the weekend Grok shared various offensive remarks after being prompted by soccer fans to roast opposing clubs. These comments included references to tragedies like the 1989 Hillsborough stadium disaster and the death of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota."
"That's likely to bring more scrutiny on X owner Elon Musk's AI project, which is already under investigation in the U.K., as well as in several other regions, over the recent nudification controversy in which Grok was used to virtually undress images of people."
U.K. authorities are examining xAI's Grok chatbot following offensive comments generated through its "unhinged mode" feature, which allows users to prompt the bot to deliver vulgar roasts. Grok made racist remarks and referenced tragic events including the 1989 Hillsborough stadium disaster, Manchester United's 1958 Munich air crash, and the death of Liverpool player Diogo Jota. The U.K. Department for Science, Innovation and Technology deemed these comments "sickening and irresponsible" and contrary to British values. This investigation adds to existing regulatory pressure on Grok, which is already under scrutiny for a nudification controversy where the chatbot was used to create inappropriate images.
