The Spin
Narrative A
El Salvador is leading the world by partnering with xAI to revolutionize education through artificial intelligence. Grok will provide personalized, high-quality instruction at scale, helping students master core subjects and explore advanced topics. This historic initiative positions the nation as a global pioneer in educational innovation.
Narrative B
Deploying Grok in El Salvador's schools is reckless and dangerous. This AI has promoted extremist content, spread conspiracy theories and lacks basic safety protections for children. Using over a million students as guinea pigs for an unvetted, politically charged technology crosses every ethical line in education.
