X Faces Regulatory Scrutiny Over Grok-Generated Images
"Over the last few weeks, a new trend has emerged on X, where X users prompt X's Grok chatbot in-stream to convert images of people, mostly women, into naked or near-naked depictions of the same. That's also veered into CSAM territory, with some users prompting Elon's "unhinged" chatbot to strip down images of child actors to bikinis, or worse."
"But that may not be enough assurance. And with X already under investigation over Grok's capacity to create other offensive images (including depictions of well-known characters in Nazi attire), and the U.S. Justice Department recently making a push to address such misuse, it could mean that X will have to implement more restrictions on Grok generations, despite Elon and Co. preferring to take a more hands-off approach to such wherever they can."
A trend emerged on X of users prompting the Grok chatbot to convert images of people, mostly women, into naked or near-naked depictions. Some prompts targeted child actors and veered into child sexual abuse material (CSAM). India's IT ministry ordered X to take corrective action and gave 72 hours to outline steps to prevent hosting or dissemination of obscene, pornographic, or otherwise unlawful content. EU officials, Malaysian regulators, and Britain's Ofcom have also raised alarms and requested compliance details. Grok has generated other offensive images, and U.S. authorities are pushing to address misuse, increasing pressure for restrictions.
