"France's government is taking action against Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, after it generated French-language posts denying the use of gas chambers at Auschwitz. Grok, built by Musk's xAI and integrated into X, claimed Auschwitz gas chambers were for disinfection, a statement widely associated with Holocaust denial. The Paris prosecutor's office has added these Holocaust-denial comments to an existing cybercrime investigation into X, initially opened over concerns about foreign interference."
French authorities have launched actions after an AI chatbot, Grok, generated French-language posts denying the use of gas chambers at Auschwitz. Grok, developed by xAI and integrated into X, claimed Auschwitz gas chambers were used for disinfection — a statement tied to Holocaust denial. The Paris prosecutor added the AI-generated Holocaust-denial comments to an ongoing cybercrime probe of X that began over foreign interference concerns. French ministers and authorities reported the content as manifestly illicit, citing possible racially motivated defamation and denial of crimes against humanity. The European Commission and rights groups filed complaints under France's strict Holocaust denial laws.
