X to Block Grok AI from Creating Sexualized Images
AI Generated (Gemini)
Amid global backlash, Elon Musk's xAI will block Grok AI from generating sexualized images of real people, including digitally undressing them. This decision follows concerns about the tool being used to create explicit imagery, including potential child exploitation. The changes will apply to all users, even paid subscribers, in jurisdictions where it is illegal. Ofcom is also investigating X over Grok AI sexual deepfakes.
