"Grok's track record, which includes producing responses that are often aligned with specific ideological viewpoints rather than objective facts and operational inconsistencies, makes it a prime example of an LLM that is not suitable for government deployment," the letter reads. The organizations specifically highlighted concerns over Grok producing ideologically biased output, as well as its alleged vulnerability to cyberattacks."
""At a time when the integrity of federal systems and public trust in government are paramount, we must ensure that the tools procured meet the highest standards of objectivity, truthfulness, and reliability in addition to the minimum risk management practices already required by OMB guidance," The Pentagon signed a $200 million deal with xAI - along with three other AI companies - for the use of Grok in mid July."

The organizations also flagged alleged vulnerability to cyberattacks. The Pentagon recently signed a $200 million deal with xAI for Grok, and xAI announced Grok for Government availability on the GSA schedule amid expedited federal AI procurement efforts.
