"A previous statement from X's Safety account said the social media platform had stopped Grok from digitally altering pictures of people to remove their clothing in "jurisdictions where such content is illegal". But campaigners and victims said the ability to generate sexually explicit pictures using the tool should have "never happened" in the first place, and Ofcom said its investigation would remain ongoing. The EU regulator said it may "impose interim measures" if X refuses to implement meaningful adjustments."
"Before the Commission's announcement, Elon Musk posted a picture on X on Monday appearing to make light of the new restrictions in place around Grok. The X owner has previously criticised those scrutinising the app's image-editing function - particularly the UK government - calling it "any excuse for censorship". On Sunday, the Grok account on X claimed more than 5.5 billion images were generated by the tool in just 30 days."
The European Commission has opened an investigation into X's AI tool Grok after allegations that the tool generated sexualised images of real people. The probe follows a UK investigation by Ofcom and will examine whether manipulated sexually explicit images were shown to EU users and whether legal obligations to assess and prevent harmful content were met. X's Safety account said the platform stopped Grok digitally removing clothing in jurisdictions where illegal, while campaigners and victims said the capability should never have existed. The Commission may impose interim measures and has extended a separate inquiry into X's recommender systems started in December 2023.
