Elon Musk’s platform X announced measures to prevent its AI chatbot Grok from undressing images of real people, following global backlash over its generation of sexualised images of women and children.<\/p>\n

X said it will “geoblock the ability” of all Grok and X users to create images of people in “bikinis, underwear, and similar attire” in those jurisdictions where such actions are deemed illegal.<\/p>\n

“We have implemented technological measures to prevent the Grok account from allowing the editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis,” X’s safety team said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“This restriction applies to all users, including paid subscribers,” they added.<\/p>\n

The statement comes just hours after California’s attorney general launched an investigation into Mr Musk’s xAI – the developer of Grok – over the generation of “non-consensual, sexually explicit material” in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

International pressure had been building on xAI to rein in Grok after a feature allowed users to create sexualised deepfakes of women and children.<\/p>\n

Indonesia became the first country to block access to Grok entirely, with neighbouring Malaysia following.<\/p>\n

India said that X had removed thousands of posts and hundreds of user accounts in response to its complaints.<\/p>\n

Britain’s Ofcom media regulator said it was opening a probe into whether X failed to comply with UK law over the sexual images.<\/p>\n

France’s commissioner for children Sarah El Hairy said she had referred Grok’s generated images to French prosecutors, the Arcom media regulator and the European Union.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
