Grok Chatbot Debuted as Part of Elon Musk's AI Crusade

A new artificial intelligence chatbot called Grok was unveiled in November 2023 by xAI, a company led by entrepreneur Elon Musk, with claims that it could answer provocative questions more freely than other AI systems. With its launch, the initiative aimed to challenge the boundaries of what is considered acceptable behavior for an AI assistant. The bot’s creators touted its unique ability to engage in “unvarnished” conversations, sparking concerns about the potential risks and implications of such technology.
