California sends xAI cease-and-desist letter, demanding it prevent sexualized deepfake images of minors
"The letter demanded that xAI prevent Grok from creating sexualized images of people who did not request the image be made, or were minors when the image was created. Failure to stop such images from being created or distributed would be considered a violation of the state's revenge porn, child pornography, unlawful recording, and unfair business practice statutes, the letter states. xAI was given until January 20 at 5 p.m. to comply with the order."
""We have implemented technological measures to prevent the Grok account from allowing the editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis," X's safety account said in a blog post on the platform on Wednesday. "This restriction applies to all users, including paid subscribers." However, that didn't stop the X or Grok app from creating sexualized images, Business Insider's Henry Chandonnet found on Thursday."
California Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a cease-and-desist ordering xAI to prevent its chatbot Grok from producing sexualized deepfake images of people who did not consent or who were minors when images were created. The letter warned that enabling such content could violate state laws on revenge porn, child pornography, unlawful recording, and unfair business practices and set a compliance deadline of January 20 at 5 p.m. X announced technological measures to block editing images of real people in revealing clothing for all users, yet reporters still found sexualized images produced by Grok and the X app. xAI responded with "Legacy Media Lies."
