Overview
- X said Grok will no longer edit photos of real people into bikinis or underwear, limited image creation and editing to paid subscribers, and enabled geoblocking where such content is illegal.
- California Attorney General Rob Bonta launched a formal investigation into xAI over the proliferation of nonconsensual sexually explicit images, with Gov. Gavin Newsom backing enforcement.
- Elon Musk denied awareness of any naked underage images generated by Grok, while X’s safety team reiterated zero tolerance for CSAM and promised permanent suspensions for violators.
- Researchers report Grok now responds less often or with toned‑down outputs, yet inconsistencies persist; prior analyses estimated roughly one sexualized image per minute and found over half of sampled images showed minimal attire, with a small share appearing to involve minors.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Grok will be integrated into Pentagon networks, including classified systems, as the military accelerates adoption of leading AI models.
