Overview
- MeitY’s January 2 notice directs immediate takedown of obscene and sexually explicit material generated or circulated via X’s AI services, including Grok.
- X must strengthen moderation and AI safeguards, strictly enforce its terms, and suspend or terminate accounts found violating the rules.
- The ministry ordered a comprehensive technical, procedural, and governance review of Grok covering prompt handling, LLM outputs, image processing, and safety guardrails.
- Within 72 hours, X must submit an Action Taken Report detailing measures adopted, the Chief Compliance Officer’s oversight, actions against violators, and compliance with mandatory offence‑reporting.
- Officials cautioned that continued non‑compliance could trigger loss of Section 79 safe‑harbour and other legal consequences, as reports flagged repeated misuse of Grok to sexualize images of real women.
