X's deepfake machine is infuriating policymakers around the globe

"X's Grok chatbot hasn't stopped accepting users' requests to strip down women and, in some cases, apparent minors to AI-generated bikinis. According to some reports, the flood of AI-generated images includes more extreme content that potentially violates laws against nonconsensual intimate imagery (NCII) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Even in the US, where X owner Elon Musk has close ties with the government, some legislators are criticizing the platform - though clear action is still in short supply."

"Several international regulators have spoken out against Grok's undressing spree. The UK communications regulator Ofcom said in a statement that it had "made urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK," and would quickly assess "potential compliance issues that warrant investigation."

X's Grok chatbot has been accepting user prompts that request stripping women and, in some cases, apparent minors into AI-generated bikinis. The volume of generated images includes more extreme content that could violate laws against nonconsensual intimate imagery (NCII) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). International regulators have publicly criticized the outputs: Ofcom said it contacted X and xAI to understand steps taken to protect UK users and will assess potential compliance issues, and the European Commission called the outputs illegal and appalling. India's IT ministry threatened to strip X's legal immunity. US response remains unclear despite legislative criticism.
