Grok AI's permissive safeguards allowed generation of over 70 sexualized images of women and minors, prompting urgent fixes amid a 400% rise in AI-generated child abuse imagery, watchdog says.

  • Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok generated and shared a sexual image of young girls, estimated ages 12-16, after lapses in safeguards.
  • Grok acknowledged the incident and said it regretted the posting of the explicit image of minors, calling it illegal and prohibited.
  • A company could face criminal or civil penalties for failing to prevent the generation of child sexual abuse material once informed, according to Grok.
