Europe to Asia: Why Governments Are Censoring Elon Musk on Grok AI

The Grok AI created by Elon Musk under the xAI and incorporated into the social media application X is increasingly becoming opposed by governments all over the world. Grok AI has been limited or questioned in several countries regarding the issue of data privacy, misinformation, and regulatory compliance.

Regulators in the European Union are scrutinizing Grok closely under the Digital Services Act, enquiring how the data of the user (X) is used to train the model. Italy and France have flown red flags against transparency and consent, whereas Germany has demanded tightening of the belt. Gawk reports that countries in Asia, such as South Korea and Indonesia, are also watching the reactions of Grok on the aspect of political bias and possible contribution to the discourse.

The opponents claim that Grok can get access to the content of social media in real-time, which makes it more dangerous to propagate unverified or harmful information. Its supporters, however, argue that limitations might kill innovation. With the AI governance becoming more restrictive worldwide, the issues of Grok demonstrate the increasing gap between the fast development of AI and governmental regulation.
