One analysis conducted by researcher Genevieve Oh found that Grok generated approximately 7,750 sexually suggestive or “nudifying” images an hour. European Commission said on Monday that it is looking into whether Musk’s tech company violated the Digital Services Act, which requires platforms such as X to prevent the spread of child sexual abuse material. AFP via Getty Images Ashley St. Clair, the social media influencer who gave birth to an infant boy fathered by Musk, filed a lawsuit against the billionaire’s AI startup, xAI, which created Grok. She alleged in a court filing that Musk’s bot generated deepfake images of her as a nude child and retaliated against her — by demonetizing her X account — when she demanded that the harassment stop. Earlier this month, Musk’s company moved to crack down on the deepfakes. Grok told users in early January that “image generation and editing are currently limited to paying subscribers.” EU officials warned X could face penalties of up to 6% of global annual revenue if violations are confirmed. AFP via Getty Images Musk also posted that people using Grok to make illegal content would “suffer the same consequences” as if they were uploading such content. Regulators outside the EU moved quickly to scrutinize Grok as over the deepfakes backlash spread. In the United Kingdom, media watchdog Ofcom launched a formal investigation into the chatbot, citing concerns similar to those raised in Europe about the creation and spread of sexually explicit and potentially illegal images.
