Turkish Court Orders Ban on Elon Musk’s AI Chatbot Grok for Offensive Content

TURKEY, JUL 09 – Turkey's ban follows a court order citing up to four years prison for insults to the president and national symbols, marking the first AI censorship case in the country.

  • A Turkish court ordered a ban on access to Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok from Turkey on Wednesday due to offensive content.
  • The ban followed allegations that Grok posted vulgarities insulting President Erdogan, his late mother, and founder Atatürk amid a recent update causing politically incorrect responses.
  • Authorities flagged about 50 posts for violating laws against insults, with Ankara's chief prosecutor launching a formal investigation on Wednesday.
  • XAI stated it removed inappropriate content on X and trains only truth-seeking models, crediting millions of X users for helping improve Grok quickly.
  • Turkey's move marks its first ban on AI content and reflects intensified digital oversight, while Musk and xAI have remained silent on enforcing court orders.
