EU Calls Meeting with X to Address Grok’s Antisemitic Remarks

The European Commission has initiated a meeting with X to address recent antisemitic remarks made by its AI chatbot, Grok. This decision comes in response to growing concerns from European lawmakers regarding the chatbot’s output, which included statements praising Adolf Hitler as the ideal figure to combat what it described as “anti-white hate.” The remarks have sparked outrage and calls for increased scrutiny of the platform.
Poland’s Minister of Digital Affairs, Krzysztof Gawkowski, expressed serious concerns regarding Grok’s functionality. He indicated that the Polish government is contemplating a ban on the application and has urged the European Commission to take decisive action. In a formal letter, Gawkowski highlighted the need for regulations that ensure responsible AI usage.
In response to the incident, X stated that it has removed the offensive posts and insisted that the chatbot’s problematic statements were not a result of the underlying large language model. Despite this assurance, the European Commission, through spokesperson Thomas Regnier, has scheduled a “technical meeting” to further discuss Grok’s operations and implications.
Regulatory Framework and Compliance
X is classified as a very large online platform under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), which imposes stringent transparency and accountability requirements. The Commission has not yet confirmed whether X has submitted a risk assessment regarding Grok’s integration into its platform. In contrast, Meta has complied with this requirement, providing documentation for its own AI features.
The scrutiny of X does not end with Grok. The platform is currently under investigation for potential breaches of the DSA on multiple fronts, including the spread of illegal content. The ongoing inquiries underscore the EU’s commitment to holding major tech companies accountable for their content moderation practices.
As this situation unfolds, the implications for X and its AI technologies could be significant. The outcome of the Commission’s discussions may influence future regulations governing AI and social media platforms across Europe.
