Elon Musk says ‘Grok should have a moral constitution’ after AI image misuse; sparks global outrage and government scrutiny

Elon Musk has sparked a fresh debate regarding the ethics of artificial intelligence after claiming his AI chatbot, Grok, needed to have a “moral constitution,” following growing condemnation of his AI firm, xAI, over the misuse of Grok to create obscene photographs of real-life human beings. Amid a growing fear among governments, policymakers, and the general public, the current controversy has thrown the weight of a looming conflict between the rapid development of AI technology and the need to develop its moral standards. Musk’s comment now represents a possibly new direction in the expected behaviour of AI technology in the future.
