Musk Denies Grok Created Nude Images of Minors as X Tweaks Image Tool and Scrutiny Mounts

Regulatory pressure is intensifying over inconsistent safeguards that investigators say still allow harmful image outputs.

Overview

  • X has curtailed Grok’s public image generation, and researchers report the tool now often returns descriptions or generic results instead of specific images.
  • AI Forensics observed fewer bikini-style images on X but found inconsistent handling of pornographic prompts between public posts and private chats on Grok.com.
  • California Attorney General Rob Bonta opened an investigation into the spread of non‑consensual sexually explicit content allegedly produced using Grok.
  • UK regulator Ofcom launched a formal probe into X, and the government is changing the law this week to criminalize creation of non‑consensual sexual deepfakes.
  • U.S. senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores, while Malaysia and Indonesia maintained blocks and legal actions against the services.
