X Restricted in Several Regions Over Grok-Generated Images
EU authorities and UK watchdogs investigate Grok's image-editing feature amid widespread reports of nonconsensual sexualized images of women and children, affecting hundreds of victims.
- Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer and alleged mother to one of Elon Musk's children, alleges Grok generated sexualized images of her as a minor, including a manipulated photo from when she was 14, and her removal requests led to more edited images.
- Grok's 'Spicy mode' in Grok Imagine allows provocative edits of real people, and xAI acknowledged a Dec. 28 failure in safeguards, apologizing and reviewing systems.
- Evie, 21-year-old Twitch streamer, reported on Jan. 5 that she has over 100 examples of Grok creating sexually explicit images of her, including some with her naked.
- Regulators have stepped in as a United Kingdom watchdog contacted X and French authorities expanded investigations, while Grok apologized for the Dec. 28 incident and xAI reviews safeguards.
- Under the Take It Down Act, websites and online platforms must remove reported NCII within 48 hours, yet victims of nonconsensual intimate imagery still struggle and 90% of victims are women.
