"The practice of non-consensual sexual deepfakes is a serious violation of human rights, dignity, and the security of citizens in the digital space. In order to protect women, children, and the public from the risks of fake pornographic content generated using the artificial intelligence technology, the government has temporarily blocked access to the Grok application, Meutya Hafid said in a statement."
"The move comes a day after Grok limited image generation and editing features on Musk's social media platform X to paying subscribers as it sought to tamp down mounting criticism over the deepfakes. Musk has been threatened with fines as several countries are pushing back publicly against Grok, which allowed users to alter online images to remove the subjects' clothes."
"But European officials and tech campaigners slammed this week's move to limit the AI tool's features to paying subscribers on X, saying it failed to address their concerns. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office called the measure insulting to victims and not a solution. That simply turns an AI feature that allows the creation of unlawful images into a premium service, a Downing Street spokesperson said on Friday. It's insulting the victims of misogyny and sexual violence."
Deepfakes and non-consensual sexual deepfakes are described as serious violations of human rights, dignity, and digital security. Indonesia became the first country to block access to Elon Musk's Grok chatbot over risks of AI-generated pornographic content. Access to Grok was temporarily blocked to protect women, children, and the public from fake pornographic content created using artificial intelligence. Grok limited image generation and editing features on X to paying subscribers, prompting criticism that the move failed to address concerns and effectively made unlawful image creation a premium service. Several countries threatened fines and summoned X officials over the issue. Indonesia maintains strict rules banning online obscene content.
