"Grok, a standalone app as well as a feature on Elon Musk's social media platform X, generated 3 million sexualized images in the 11 days after its image-editing feature was released in December, the UK-based Center for Countering Digital Hate reported. Users digitally stripped real women in images and more than 20,000 apparent children manipulating many into sexual poses. Musk responded dismissively, reposting an AI-generated image of a toaster in a bikini, saying he couldn't stop laughing about it."
"This material, which depicts women and children in nude and sexually explicit situations, has been used to harass people across the internet, Attorney General Rob Bonta's office said in a news release last month announcing an investigation into whether Grok's generation of the imagery broke any laws. The investigation is still underway, and Bonta is committed to moving on this issue quickly, his office said Wednesday."
Cutting-edge AI technology enables users to digitally undress girls and women without consent, producing sexualized imagery and facilitating online harassment. xAI's Grok generated three million sexualized images in the 11 days after its image-editing feature launched, with users stripping real women and creating sexualized images of more than 20,000 apparent children. Elon Musk responded by reposting an AI-generated image and laughing, while California authorities opened an investigation into possible legal violations. The Tech Transparency Project identified 55 Google Play apps and 47 Apple App Store apps capable of converting photos of women into nude or skimpy depictions. Companies providing such features include DreamFace and Bodiva, which offered a "Show Off Body" function to strip women naked in photos.
