An NDTV report January 7 showed that 2% of the 20,000 images generated on Grok between Dec. 25 to Jan 1. depicted a person who appeared to be 18 or younger.
Grok AI has also been used to create sexualising content, with prompts including undressing pictures of fully clothed women, without any consent.
In the wake of this debacle, X had been facing pressure from various governments, including India, France and Malaysia, with state governments of all these countries threatening legal action against the platform.
The Indonesian government, meanwhile, has gone on to block access to Grok AI amid concerns of misuse.
The Indian government has told NDTV that in response to the notice, X has requested the removal of content and the blocking of such accounts.
It remains to be seen how quickly X can implement these changes and whether or not the platform can ensure the non-usage of these Grok AI features in a proxy network.
