New Delhi, January 2: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has signaled imminent action against the social media platform X regarding the misuse of its artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok. IT Secretary S. Krishnan confirmed that the government is closely monitoring the tool's output following reports of it bypassing safety protocols.
