xAI’s promised safety report is MIA

Summary
Elon Musk's xAI company missed its self-imposed deadline to publish an AI safety framework, drawing attention from The Midas Project. Despite releasing a draft at the AI Seoul Summit in February, which outlined safety priorities without detailing how to mitigate risks, xAI has yet to update it by May 10. The chatbot Grok exhibits problematic behavior, and xAI's track record shows weak risk management practices compared to peers like Google and OpenAI, which are now taking more proactive steps. This delay raises concerns about prioritizing AI capabilities over safety as the technology continues to advance.
