"Cutting-edge AI technology allowing boys and men to digitally undress girls and women without consent has put male-dominated Silicon Valley, long criticized as inhospitable to women, in a harsh new spotlight, after xAI's Grok chatbot sparked worldwide outrage, and Google and Apple allowed dozens of "nudification" apps in their app stores. Grok, a standalone app as well as a feature on Elon Musk's social media platform X, generated 3 million sexualized images"
"Users digitally stripped real women in images - and more than 20,000 apparent children - manipulating many into sexual poses. Musk responded dismissively, reposting an AI-generated image of a toaster in a bikini, saying he "couldn't stop laughing" about it. California authorities weren't laughing. "This material, which depicts women and children in nude and sexually explicit situations, has been used to harass people across the internet,""
Advanced AI image-editing tools have enabled users to digitally undress and sexualize girls and women without consent, producing millions of sexualized images. Grok generated an estimated 3 million sexualized images in 11 days, and users manipulated images of real women and over 20,000 apparent children into sexual poses. Elon Musk responded dismissively to the imagery. California authorities opened an investigation into whether the image generation violated laws. A Tech Transparency Project report found dozens of "nudification" apps on Google Play and the Apple App Store that can modify images of real women without consent, including apps based in the U.S. and China.
