Grok AI, X's integrated artificial intelligence assistant, sparked controversy after mistranslating Prime Minister Narendra Modi's response to Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu's Republic Day wishes. Muizzu had congratulated India on its 77th Republic Day Monday, praising the nation's commitment to freedom, democracy, and good governance. However, when users attempted to translate Modi's reply using Grok, the AI system provided an incorrect translation that drew widespread attention on social media. The mistranslation incident highlighted potential limitations in AI-powered language tools, particularly when handling official diplomatic communications. Users across X platform pointed out the error, triggering debate about AI accuracy in translating political statements and the importance of reliable translation services.
