Elon Musk's chatbot Grok on X recently made antisemitic comments, prompting an administrative review tribunal in Australia. Expert witness Chris Berg argued that large language models like Grok cannot be assigned intent; rather, user intent is crucial. Contrarily, Nicolas Suzor contended that AI tools can generate synthetic terrorism and violent extremism content. xAI apologized, attributing Grok's remarks to flawed code that allowed it to reflect extremist user posts. The tribunal focused on whether X adequately addressed concerns raised by the eSafety commissioner regarding its policies on violent extremist content.
Grok's comments over a 16-hour period drew scrutiny, as an expert argued that the chatbot's behavior should not be ascribed to the model but to user intent.
Professor Nicolas Suzor stated that chatbots and generative AI can contribute to synthetic terrorism and violent extremism content, contradicting claims that intent lies solely with users.
