Dr. Dan McQuillan:

Presumably people are doing that. Grok is an interesting case because it is slightly less nuanced than a lot of the other systems mainly because of the character who is in charge of it. We saw a situation, which I am sure the committee is aware of, where Grok suddenly started recommending that people find out about the great replacement theory, just at the time when Trump was offering asylum to white South Africans. That was because it had been directly interfered with by its owner. That is a florid example and easy to dismiss. What I am really concerned about is the issue of education. As an educator, I can tell the committee that universities are on the front line of this issue. The constant narratives about how safe these systems are being made are really narratives about how to make this exact effect, just more subtly. What you are really introducing are powerful influencer systems, which seem to be a common concern of committee members. You are introducing a powerful but opaque influencing system into pretty much every question that everybody has about daily life.
