AI chatbot Grok used to create child sexual abuse imagery, watchdog says
"The UK-based Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) said users of a dark web forum boasted of using Grok Imagine to create sexualised and topless imagery of girls aged between 11 and 13. IWF analysts said the images would be considered child sexual abuse material (CSAM) under UK law. We can confirm our analysts have discovered criminal imagery of children aged between 11 and 13 which appears to have been created using the tool, said Ngaire Alexander, the head of the IWF's hotline,"
"X, Elon Musk's social media platform, has been deluged with images of women and children whose clothes have been digitally removed by the Grok tool, sparking public outcry and condemnation from politicians. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the House of Commons women and equalities committee said it would no longer use X for its communications, saying it was no longer appropriate to do so given preventing violence against women and girls was among its key policy areas."
Analysts at the Internet Watch Foundation identified sexualised and topless imagery of girls aged 11 to 13 that appears to have been created using the Grok Imagine tool. The imagery meets UK legal definitions of child sexual abuse material. Material identified by the IWF has reportedly been used to generate even more extreme Category A content involving penetrative sexual activity via a different AI tool. X has been flooded with images altered or produced by Grok, prompting political condemnation and the decision by the House of Commons women and equalities committee to stop using the platform.
