The news reports that Grok, an AI chatbot from xAI, was seen using code from a repository, which may indicate copyright or license violations. The incident sparked a discussion about the ethics of using open-source code in commercial AI products.
According to a publication on Security Boulevard, Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk's company xAI, has been caught using code from someone else's repository without proper attribution. Journalists discovered that Grok's responses contain code fragments clearly borrowed from open-source projects, which may violate the terms of licenses such as MIT or Apache (a permissive software license developed by the Apache Software Foundation). xAI representatives have not yet commented on the situation. Experts note that such incidents raise questions about the legal responsibility of AI systems and the need for a more transparent approach to training models on open data.
