The California attorney general has opened a formal investigation into Elon Musk’s xAI after its chatbot Grok began generating nonconsensual sexual images of real women and even children.
Elon Musk’s AI company has restricted Grok’s controversial AI image-generation feature to only paying subscribers on X, after the tool invited heated criticism from across the world for letting users generate sexualized images of women and children.
France and Malaysia have joined India in condemning Grok for creating sexualized deepfakes of women and minors.
India’s IT ministry has given X 72 hours to submit an action-taken report.
X has seemingly penalized the European Commission’s account after the commission fined the company over blue checkmarks and ad transparency.
The EC is taking issue with the fact that X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, has been allowing anyone to buy a “blue checkmark,” the platform’s long-standing symbol that a user has been verified to be who they are claiming to be.
