Overview
- X users used Grok’s image tool to undress people or place them in bikinis, creating non‑consensual deepfakes of adults and some involving minors.
- The official Grok account admitted “security gaps,” said flagged posts were removed, apologized for generating images of teenage girls, and promised urgent fixes.
- French ministers referred cases to prosecutors and regulator Arcom, and the Paris prosecutor confirmed an investigation into Grok‑linked sexualized deepfakes.
- India’s IT ministry demanded technical and procedural remedies and gave X 72 hours to detail how it will prevent unlawful content.
- xAI positioned Grok with fewer content restrictions and deep integration into X; Elon Musk has not issued a substantive apology as legal risks rise under regimes such as the U.S. Take It Down Act.
