In a tweet, Musk said the kid-friendly version of its Grok AI chatbot is designed to provide safe and educational content for children. The announcement follows criticism of Grok's more adult offerings, including an AI avatar named Ani that was reported to engage in flirtatious dialogue and suggestive actions, even with 'Kids Mode' enabled.

Days after introducing customisable 3D animated companions to the Grok chatbot, which many dubbed as being too sexualised, Elon Musk has announced a kid-friendly version of the artificial intelligence (AI) tool. The xAI CEO on Saturday (Jul 19) announced plans to release Baby Grok, which would only contain 'kid-friendly content'.

One of the new “companions,” or AI characters for users to interact with, is a sexualized blonde anime bot called “Ani."
