"Advocacy groups and lawmakers from around the world have raised the alarm on Grok's AI image editing feature after it began complying with requests to generate sexualized images of women and minors on the platform. X later paywalled the ability to edit images in public replies to posts, but everyone can still generate images using Grok's chatbot interface inside X."
"The EU Commission will evaluate whether X violated the Digital Services Act, a set of rules that hold large online platforms legally accountable for the content posted to them. It's also extending a broader 2023 investigation into X, which will now examine the platform's Grok-powered recommendation system (The EU already fined X $140 million over "deceptive" blue checkmarks in connection with this probe)."
The European Commission opened an investigation into X over sexualized deepfakes generated by its Grok AI chatbot. The Commission will evaluate whether X properly assessed and mitigated risks associated with Grok's image-generation capabilities in the EU. Advocacy groups and lawmakers raised alarms after Grok complied with requests to generate sexualized images of women and minors. X paywalled image editing in public replies but still allows image generation via Grok's chatbot interface. The probe will assess potential violations of the Digital Services Act and extends a 2023 investigation to examine Grok-powered recommendations; the EU previously fined X $140 million over deceptive verification. X could face fines up to 6 percent of annual global revenue.
