The U.S. Department of Defense will begin using Grok, the AI chatbot built by Elon Musk’s start-up xAI, the company announced in a post on Monday.

Grok, the artificial-intelligence chatbot produced by Elon Musk -owned xAI, this week began posting antisemitic messages in response to user queries, drawing condemnation from Jewish advocacy groups and raising concern about the AI tool. The antisemitic posts -- some of which have been deleted -- are being addressed, Musk said on Wednesday.

The AI chatbot Grok, which is produced by Elon Musk’s xAI, wrote numerous antisemitic social media posts Tuesday after the artificial intelligence company released a revamped version of it over the weekend. The posts ranged from alleging "patterns" about Jewish people to praising Hitler.
