"Grok's digital undressing scandal is horrifying. In recent days, countless women, including the mother of one of Elon Musk's children, have found AI-generated and nonconsensual sexual images of themselves propagating across the web. According to one analysis, Grok was, at least as of early January, generating thousands of sexually suggestive, or undressed, images of people per hour. (Elon Musk now says that image generation will only be available to paid users.)"
"The Trump administration has also signed a range of deals with xAI to offer its Grok chatbot to federal workers for office use. The White House didn't respond to a request for comment. Nor did Carahsoft, a federal government contractor that has signed on to facilitate sales of xAI's Grok for Government product suite. The General Services Administration, a wonky but critical federal agency that's organized several major government deals for AI companies, including xAI, appears to be punting the issue."
Grok generated thousands of AI-created sexually suggestive or undressed images of people per hour, including images of numerous women and the mother of one of Elon Musk's children. Governments in several countries opened inquiries into potential violations of laws covering pornographic deepfakes and child sexual abuse material. The Defense Department previously offered xAI a $200 million contract for Grok, and Pentagon officials asserted compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Trump administration arranged deals to offer Grok to federal workers, and procurement partners such as Carahsoft and the General Services Administration are involved. GSA reports internal safety testing for USAi integration, but the depth of testing remains unclear.
