PM Slams X over Ongoing AI Sexploitation Claims
Authorities in Australia, the EU, and other countries investigate X's AI chatbot Grok after over 20,000 sexualized images were generated without consent, including some depicting minors.
- On Friday, Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant announced an investigation into a surge of sexualised images, while X limited Grok's image tools to paying subscribers.
- Generative AI has made realistic deepfakes accessible, with Grok adding a 'spicy' image mode after its 2023 launch, sparking backlash over nude video deepfakes and sexualized images.
- AI Forensics examined over 20,000 Grok images from December 25 to January 1, finding 53 per cent contained individuals in minimal attire, with 81 per cent of those being women.
- Authorities have launched investigations as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the images unlawful, while Ofcom, Australia's eSafety Office, and MeitY hold enforcement powers including removal and response within 72 hours.
- Experts note legal gaps as Canada’s federal CSAM laws exclude digitally-altered adult images, while Australia’s new codes take effect on March 9 and Ottawa plans further privacy measures in coming months.
