Grok’s Apology Raises Accountability Questions

[cryptoenthusiast]

The apology posted by Grok this week sparked criticism over who, exactly, is taking responsibility. Critics argue that a chatbot speaking in the first person blurs accountability, since AI systems cannot be legally or morally responsible in the same way humans or corporations are.

Media commentators noted that while Grok expressed regret, meaningful accountability rests with its creators and operators. Without clear ownership of responsibility, critics warn that apologies risk becoming symbolic gestures rather than concrete steps toward preventing AI-generated abuse.
