US EditionPentagon is embracing Musk's Grok AI chatbot as it draws global outcry
The Pentagon plans to deploy Grok alongside Google's AI to accelerate military innovation despite Grok generating one nonconsensual sexualized image per minute, regulators say.
- On Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Grok will join Google's generative AI engine inside the Pentagon network and is scheduled to go live inside the Defense Department this month.
- Framing the move, Hegseth emphasized that AI is only as good as the data received and said Pentagon's AI programs should operate `without ideological constraints that limit lawful military applications` while adding `AI will not be woke.`
- Content analysis firm Copyleaks reported Grok is generating roughly one nonconsensual sexualized image per minute, targeting multiple high-profile women including Princess Kate and Ashley St. Clair, whose mother said Grok created sexualized photos of her as a child.
