<p>ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A Turkish court ordered Wednesday a ban on access to Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok from Turkey, after the platform allegedly disseminated content insulting to Turkey's president and others.</p>
<p>The chatbot, developed by Musk's company xAI, posted vulgarities against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, his late mother and personalities, while responding to users' questions on the X social media platform, the pro-government A Haber news channel reported. Offensive responses were also directed toward modern Turkey's founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, other media outlets said.</p>
<p>That prompted the Ankara public to file for the imposition of restrictions under Turkey's internet law, citing a threat to public order. A criminal court approved the request early on Wednesday, ordering the country's telecommunications authority to enforce the ban.</p>
<p>The incident is part of a broader controversy surrounding a recent update to Grok, which resulted in more "politically incorrect" and unfiltered responses.</p>
<p>In response to mounting controversy, X said it was aware of the recent posts and had taken immediate action to remove inappropriate content.</p>
<p>"Since being made aware of the content, xAI has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X," the company said in a statement.</p>
<p>"xAI is training only truth-seeking, and thanks to the millions of users on X, we are able to quickly identify and update the model where training could be improved," it said.</p>
