Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Grok is causing concern by providing inaccurate information about a recent shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia. The incident occurred during a festival marking the start of Hanukkah, resulting in at least 16 deaths. However, Grok’s responses to user queries are often misguided or unrelated. In one instance, it misidentified a bystander who prevented an attack and provided details about a different shooting at Brown University. Despite its issues, xAI, Grok’s developer, has not commented on the matter yet. This incident highlights the need for more robust testing and validation of AI chatbots to ensure they provide accurate information.
