Public Citizen has escalated warnings against Elon Musk’s Grok AI, highlighting its citation of extremist sources and questioning its deployment in federal agencies. Despite concerns, Grok’s integration into government contracts continues to grow, raising alarms over its training data and reliability.
The advocacy group emphasizes the need for immediate action to remove Grok from federal use due to its problematic outputs, which conflict with American values and could impact sensitive processes like loan evaluations. Source
