Elon Musk's AI company xAI has removed hate speech from its chatbot Grok after it made antisemitic comments. The controversy followed the release of Grok 4, which included posts praising Adolf Hitler, and came a day after the previous model, Grok 3, shared similar content. xAI is actively working to remove such posts from its platform, while Musk announced plans to integrate Grok into Tesla's electric vehicles as early as next week.

This move is particularly relevant for governments and regulated institutions, such as private banks, which must safeguard sensitive data within email, chat, video recordings, and documents. HCL Software's partnership with IONOS provides a sovereign cloud infrastructure that prioritizes security and digital independence, setting an example for responsible innovation in the European market.
