Poland to report Musk's chatbot Grok to EU for offensive comments including on PM Tusk
Issues of political biases, hate speech and accuracy of AI chatbots have been a concern since at least the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022.
Grok removed what it called 'inappropriate' social media posts yesterday after complaints from X users and the Anti-Defamation League that Grok produced content with antisemitic tropes and praise for Adolf Hitler.
A Turkish court earlier blocked access to some content from Grok after authorities said the chatbot generated responses insulting President Tayyip Erdogan, modern Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and religious values.
Poland's digitisation minister, Krzysztof Gawkowski, told RMF FM radio today that the government will ask Brussels to investigate the chatbot's offensive comments about its politicians.
'I have the impression that we are entering a higher level of hate speech, which is driven by algorithms, and that turning a blind eye or ignoring this today... is a mistake that may cost humanity in the future,' he said.
'The Ministry of Digitisation will react in accordance with current regulations, we will report the violation to the European Commission to investigate and possibly impose a fine on X. Freedom of speech belongs to humans, not to artificial intelligence.'
The chatbot's developer xAI did not immediately reply to an emailed request for comment. — Reuters

Italian PM Meloni warns against ‘trade war within the West'
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said Italy will do its part as the EU holds off on responding in hopes of reaching a deal with the US. (EPA Images pic) ROME : Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni warned Sunday against the perception of a 'trade war within the West', following US President Donald Trump's announcements of 30% tariffs on EU products. 'A trade war within the West would weaken us all in the face of the global challenges we are confronting together,' Meloni said in a statement released by her office. 'Europe has the economic and financial strength to assert its position and reach a fair and sensible agreement,' she said. 'Italy will do its part. As always,' she added, as the EU holds off on a response in the hopes of reaching an agreement. Trump announced Saturday that products imported into the US from the European Union and Mexico would be subject to 30% tariffs starting Aug 1. Since then, Italian opposition parties have criticised Meloni and her far-right party Brothers of Italy, while opposition Five Star Movement leader Giuseppe Conte accusing her of 'bowing her head' to Washington's threats. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that Brussels would not retaliate against US tariffs on steel and aluminium for now, hoping to secure a deal to avoid broader 30% levy on all its exported products.

Betting on TACO: How stock markets learned to ignore Trump's bluster amid latest tariff threats
PARIS, July 15 — When it comes to Donald Trump's repeated tariff threats and financial markets, it looks like 'TACO' is the dish investors are dining on, analysts said. The acronym — coined by a Financial Times columnist and standing for 'Trump Always Chickens Out' — has become a lodestar for equities, currencies and commodities traders, resulting in diminishing reactions to the US president's warnings. To be sure, Trump's vows of future tariff hikes still weigh on markets — just not to the extent they used to. When his 'Liberation Day' protectionist offensive was unveiled in April, the reaction was panic. Now, said analysts, traders take his tariff announcements in their stride. On Monday, stock markets largely shrugged off Trump's weekend threat to impose 30-percent tariffs on the EU. 'It's amazing in fact, the tariff rates are as high as they were announced back in April, yet the market reaction is completely different,' Ipek Ozkardeskaya, an analyst at Swissquote Bank, told AFP. 'Investors continue to bet that Trump 'will chicken out' — the so-called TACO trade — and that negotiations will extend beyond August 1st,' when the tariffs are to come into effect, she said. Despite Trump trying to raise the stakes with several tariff announcements over recent days, targeting a dozen countries and products such as copper, 'the market has increasingly overcome its queasiness', said Jim Reid, a Deutsche Bank analyst. US stock indices are hitting record highs, while European equities are also proving attractive to buyers. Germany's DAX index has risen more than 20 percent since the beginning of this year, despite the export-dependent country being among the more exposed to Trump's levies.

'Markets aren't collapsing because they've grown conditioned to tariff threats as part of the US negotiating playbook. Investors see this more as tactical leverage than an immediate economic cliff,' Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management, said. When it comes to the latest threat, 'the real tell is that the EU hasn't responded with reciprocal tariffs, which suggests Brussels still thinks a negotiated outcome is possible — and that's keeping risk sentiment afloat,' he said. 'The markets expect the (EU-US) negotiations to continue,' agreed Alexandre Baradez, head of market analysis at IG France. But there is a lingering worry that Trump this time might make good on his threat. 'If huge tariffs do get imposed on August 1st, in thin holiday markets, we could get a sizeable market reaction,' said Deutsche Bank's Reid. In America, the effects of the tariffs Trump has already implemented are also being watched closely, especially for signs of spiking inflation. That, combined with lower growth, could usher in a period of stagflation, which could prevent the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, using lower interest rates to revive the economy. 'The market's reaction — or the lack thereof — increases the gap between how investors want to see the reality, and what the reality will look like,' warned Swissquote Bank's Ozkardeskaya. — AFP

Despite mass rallies, Italy's fractured left fails to mount real challenge to Meloni's rising far-right popularity
ROME, July 15 — Hundreds of thousands of people attended protests in Rome last month hailed as a show of strength against Giorgia Meloni's hard-right government, but Italy's divided opposition is struggling to make an impact. Almost three years after its historic election victory, Meloni's far-right Brothers of Italy party remains the most popular, polling at 29 percent — above the 26 percent it secured in the September 2022 vote, according to the latest YouTrend survey. The prime minister herself tops polls of party leaders with an approval rating of 45 percent, according to Ipsos. The traditional left is struggling across Europe, where populist parties — particularly the far-right — have gained ground in recent years. And in Italy, which once had Western Europe's largest Communist Party, 'there is a crisis in the left', commented Paolo Borioni, professor of political science at Rome's Sapienza University. He said left-wing parties had 'severed their historical class ties', notably with those on lower incomes. The opposition is dominated by the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), currently polling at around 22 percent, and the Five Star Movement, with around 13 percent. Marc Lazar, a professor at Sciences Po Paris and Luiss University in Rome, said both are paying the price for their record in government, where they 'disappointed, they did not address social issues'. The PD adopted several measures that liberalised the labour market and cut public spending while in power after the 2013 election. Since then, they have lost over three million votes. For its part, the Five Star triumphed in 2018 elections on an anti-establishment message, only to ally with its declared enemies while in government.

The Five Star under former premier Giuseppe Conte is also pushing for a minimum wage and a basic income for the most vulnerable. 'Meloni, like all the right, claims to defend the people but only defends the big hedge funds, the big banks,' Riccardo Ricciardi, president of the Five Star parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies, told AFP. Both parties have also sought to mobilise public concern about rising defence budgets and Israel's offensive in Gaza. Five Star threw its weight behind a large protest in Rome last month against rearmament, an issue that Lazar noted 'poses a challenge to Giorgia Meloni' in a country with a long tradition of peace movements. But divisions on the issue within the PD have undermined the opposition's ability to attack the government. Both the PD and Five Star also backed a huge protest on Gaza, but some PD supporters accused Schlein of being slow to take up the issue. 'They lack courage,' lamented Arianna D'Archivio, a 23-year-old student organiser at the rearmament protest. A third large demonstration took place for Pride, an explicit challenge to Meloni's socially conservative agenda.

Despite their differences, PD and Five Star have tried teaming up at the ballot box, with joint candidates winning regional elections in Emilia-Romagna and Umbria in 2024, as well as the northern city of Genoa in May. They also both supported a recent referendum on labour market reform, although it failed due to low turnout. Schlein insisted the PD was making progress. 'We will happily leave the polls to Meloni's right, but we are winning elections,' she told AFP at a recent event. The PD performed better than expected in last year's European Parliament elections, winning 24 percent of the vote, compared to 29 percent for Meloni's party — but with a historically low turnout.

For analyst Borioni, there is 'no rightward shift in the population in Italy', just more people are abandoning the left. Activists meanwhile see the problem as politics, not the left itself. Francesca Ciuffi, a 27-year-old trade unionist in the textile hub of Prato, noted their recent successes in improving conditions for workers following strikes. 'The big unions and left-wing parties have abandoned their role,' she said. — AFP
