Futurism found that Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot is actively doxxing everyday people, handing over real, current home addresses, phone numbers, emails, even family members’ info with almost no prompting.

Out of 33 non-public names tested, Grok gave accurate residential addresses in multiple cases and rarely refused a request. It often returned dossiers of personal data no one asked for. Other major chatbots (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) all declined to do the same due to privacy protections.

xAI’s own policies say violating people’s privacy is prohibited. Grok is doing it anyway, and xAI didn’t respond to Futurism’s questions.
This is one of the nightmare scenarios privacy advocates have been warning about around AI being used for nefarious actions.
