US EditionSouth Oxfordshire Council Leaders Criticise ‘Unacceptable’ Use of Grok
X limits its AI image tool Grok to paid users and bans sexualized images of real people after global backlash and regulatory scrutiny from California, UK, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
- Last week, X restricted image creation and editing via Grok, the AI image tool from xAI on X, to paid users and stopped generating sexualized images of real people.
- Reports in recent weeks documented users taking pictures of women and minors online and using Grok to undress them, prompting California Attorney General Rob Bonta to open an investigation into sexualized AI deepfakes.
- Indonesia and Malaysia suspended Grok amid concerns over sexualized images, becoming the first countries to ban the AI tool.
- X said in a blog post that it implemented technological measures to prevent Grok users from editing images of real people in revealing clothing, while Elon Musk urged users to bypass restrictions, calling it `any excuse for censorship`.
- Critics said the change was insufficient, slamming last week's restriction of non-paying X users, and a spokesperson for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said it `simply turns an AI feature that allows the creation of unlawful images into a premium service`.
