A Turkish court has blocked access to Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot integrated with X, after it allegedly produced insulting content about President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Prophet Mohammed. The decision came following reports that Grok, when prompted in Turkish, generated offensive responses flagged by local media. This marks Turkey’s first official ban on an AI tool. The Ankara Chief Prosecutor’s Office has also launched a criminal investigation into the chatbot’s content. The incident has reignited concerns over political bias and hate speech in AI. Neither Musk nor X has responded, although Musk recently acknowledged the issue of “garbage data” in foundation models and promised improvements to Grok. Elon Musk Announces Major Upgrade for Grok, xAI Chatbot Responds and Says ‘Try Asking Me a Complex Question To See the Difference’.
