""I was involuntarily undressed by Elon Musk's Grok on X." Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch said in a recent video on the platform. She is one of countless victims of a feature on X's AI chatbot, Grok, that allows users to digitally strip women and children of their clothing. In less than two weeks, Grok generated three million sexualized images, including tens of thousands that appear to depict children."
"Now, the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, has launched an investigation into Grok under the Digital Services Act, or DSA. The Commission said it would "assess whether the company [X] properly assessed and mitigated risks associated with the deployment of Grok's functionalities into X in the EU." The investigation could set an important precedent in confronting US tech firms and protecting citizens from privacy violations."
Grok, X's AI chatbot, can digitally strip women and children and generated millions of sexualized images, with tens of thousands appearing to depict children. The European Commission launched an investigation under the Digital Services Act to assess whether X properly assessed and mitigated risks associated with Grok's deployment in the EU. The DSA lets the EU regulate digital services like physical products, allowing bans, mandated changes, or market exclusion for platforms breaking EU rules. The DSA targets systemic risks and gives regulators flexibility to address emerging AI harms. The probe could set a precedent for holding US tech firms accountable.
