France Investigates Musk's Grok AI Over Holocaust Denial

The French government has launched an investigation into Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok. This action comes after Grok generated posts in French that questioned the use of gas chambers at Auschwitz during the Holocaust.

Grok, which is part of Musk's company X (formerly Twitter), made statements suggesting that the gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau were for disinfection rather than mass murder. Such claims are often associated with Holocaust denial, which is illegal in France.

The chatbot's comments have been added to an ongoing cybercrime investigation into X. French authorities are examining how Grok functions and whether it violates laws against denying crimes against humanity. This case adds to the pressure Musk's companies are facing from European regulators regarding content moderation and AI ethics.
