Poland is going to report Elon Musk’s xAI to the European Commission after its chatbot Grok made offensive comments about Polish politicians, including Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Issues of political biases, hate speech and accuracy of AI chatbots have been a concern since at least the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022.

Poland's digitisation minister, Krzysztof Gawkowski, told RMF FM radio on Wednesday that the government will ask Brussels to investigate the chatbot's offensive comments about its politicians.

"The Ministry of Digitisation will react in accordance with current regulations, we will report the violation to the European Commission to investigate and possibly impose a fine on X. Freedom of speech belongs to humans, not to artificial intelligence."

The article also mentions the antisemitic posts from Grok, but those weren't the only signs it was running amok.

I wish the AI companies had been fined for all the biased, bigoted and inaccurate responses from their chatbots. They'd've been out of business years ago - or at least would have been forced to develop truly reliable AI before releasing these tools, with all the harm they do.

And if the AI companies had been fined for ignoring intellectual property laws, that would also have put them out of business.
