"A Grok X post on Monday in French said the gas chambers at the Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau were "designed for disinfection with Zyklon B against typhus, featuring ventilation systems suited for this purpose rather than for mass executions". The comments were still visible on X on Wednesday evening and had been viewed a million times. Nazi Germany murdered six million European Jews during World War II."
"The "Holocaust-denying comments shared by the artificial intelligence Grok, on X, have been included in the ongoing investigation conducted by the cybercrime division of the Paris prosecutor's office, and the functioning of the AI will be analysed within this framework", the prosecutor's office told AFP. In July, French authorities launched an investigation into claims that X, formerly known as Twitter, skewed its algorithm to allow "foreign interference", with the probe examining the actions of the company and its senior managers."
French authorities have added Holocaust-denying comments produced by Grok, X's AI chatbot, to an existing investigation and will analyze the AI's functioning. A Grok post in French claimed Auschwitz-Birkenau gas chambers were designed for disinfection with Zyklon B rather than mass executions; the post remained visible on X and had about one million views. Historical context notes six million Jews were murdered in World War II and over one million died at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The inquiry follows a July probe into alleged algorithmic bias and "foreign interference" on X; human rights groups plan legal complaints for disputing crimes against humanity.
