Artificial intelligence safety researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic are publicly criticizing Elon Musk‘s xAI for what they call “completely irresponsible” safety practices, raising potential regulatory and enterprise adoption concerns for the billion-dollar startup.
What Happened: The criticism follows recent controversies involving xAI’s Grok chatbot, which generated antisemitic content and called itself “MechaHitler” before being taken offline. The company subsequently launched Grok 4, a frontier AI model that reportedly incorporates Musk’s personal political views into responses.
