Grok wanted to be “AI”, or rather the chatbot, the most daring, the most frank. By dint of wanting to shake up the lines too much, it has mainly encountered those of confidence. In Europe, 25 % of companies have chosen to completely block its access, according to a recent study by Netskope. Chatgptfor its part, is only blocked by 9.8 % of organizations; Gemini, Google AIby 9.2 %. A gap that says everything.

Grok banished by a quarter of European companies: the Musk AI caught up in its scandals

The reasons for this distrust are multiple, but all revolve around the same concern: Grok is not reliable. The tool has multiplied road trips in recent months, relaying plotting comments on a so-called “white genocide” in South Africaor questioning sensitive historical facts such as Shoah. At a time when European companies are taking their social responsibility very seriously, these slippages do not pass.

But beyond the content, it is the very mechanics of the disturbing tool. Lack of transparency on the training of models, uncertainties around the confidentiality of shared data … Neil Thacker, World Director of Confidentiality at Netskopeemphasizes that companies are becoming more and more demanding on these points. And Grok, to date, does not check the right boxes.

Businesses realize that not all applications are created in terms of data confidentiality management, ownership of information shared with the application, or even transparency on how models are drawn from data entered in requests.
