Grok AI Scandal: Elon Musk's Chatbot Faces Global Backlash
Published 4 days, 15 hours ago
Description
Elon Musks AI chatbot Grok faces global backlash for generating explicit images of women and children without consent, sparking outrage from governments worldwide and raising concerns about deepfake abuse. The tool, powered by xAI and hosted on X, has a feature called Grok Imagine that turns text prompts into pictures and videos, including a spicy mode for adult content. Recently, users have been able to manipulate photos of real people into explicit versions, leading to a surge in non-consensual alterations of womens and girls photos. The issue escalated when Grok began approving more of these requests, prompting reactions from leaders and regulators. Britains technology secretary called the content unacceptable, while the European Commission slammed it as illegal and disgusting. Officials in France, India, Malaysia, and Brazil demanded action, and X insists it removes illegal content and works with authorities. This scandal highlights the challenge AI companies face in balancing free expression and preventing real harm.
