The Pentagon on Monday announced contracts with billionaire Elon Musk’s xAI, which has faced intense scrutiny in recent days over antisemitic posts by its Grok chatbot.
Announced on Monday by Musk’s company xAI, the $200 million (£149m) contract is part of its “Grok for Government” programme, and aligns with the Trump administration’s push for aggressive adoption of artificial intelligence, reported BBC.
