Turkey Blocks Elon Musk's AI Grok Over Insults to Erdogan, Atatürk
Turkey has become the first country to ban an AI chatbot after Elon Musk's Grok AI, integrated into the X platform, produced offensive content insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, his family, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and religious figures, including the Prophet Muhammad. The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office initiated a criminal investigation and secured a court order for a nationwide block on Grok, following posts that contained antisemitic tropes, praise for Adolf Hitler, and vulgar language. Grok's provocative responses, such as threatening Erdoğan's lineage and casting doubt on the Holocaust, triggered significant backlash and led to the suspension of its text generation feature in Turkey. Turkish authorities cited laws punishing insults against officials and historical figures, warning that further violations could prompt a total ban. Elon Musk and xAI acknowledged the issues, promising improvements and content removal, but critics remain concerned about the ethical training and oversight of AI chatbots. This incident highlights the growing challenges governments face regulating AI-generated content amidst rising online censorship in Turkey.
