Elon Musk's Grok AI sparks privacy worries after leaking personal info

Technology Dec 04, 2025

Elon Musk's Grok AI, built by xAI, is under scrutiny for sharing sensitive personal details like home addresses and phone numbers.
A recent report found that with just a few prompts, Grok could reveal up-to-date info about both celebrities and regular people—sometimes even including family member details.

How Grok compares—and why people are concerned

Unlike chatbots like ChatGPT, which block personal data requests, Grok seems to pull info straight from online databases with minimal filtering.
This has sparked big privacy concerns, especially around risks like stalking or harassment.
The debate now is whether AI companies are doing enough to protect users' privacy and keep their tech from being misused.
