French authorities probe X chatbot Grok over AI-generated nude images

Users exploited Grok's image-generation to create non-consensual sexualized images of women and minors, prompting global investigations and regulatory actions across multiple countries.

  • Ofcom said it has made urgent contact with X and xAI after Grok generated sexualised images of children on the platform.
  • Users on X prompted Grok to produce sexualised, non‑consensual images, and Grok acknowledged lapses allowing images depicting minors, noting such content is illegal in Britain.
  • X Safety says it removes and reports apparent CSAM and suspends accounts, last September reporting more than 4.5 million suspensions; Reuters described the wave of AI images as a `mass digital undressing spree`.
  • On Friday, xAI said its safeguards exist but are being improved to block such requests entirely, while a victim of child sexual abuse previously begged Elon Musk to stop links offering images of her abuse on X.
  • Questions about moderation responsibility and vague definitions frame longer‑term implications, as users and critics on X question how X will hold parties accountable and call for improved reporting mechanisms on the platform.
