Amid the rising concerns over the sexualised AI deepfakes in countries including the UK and US, Elon Musk’s Grok artificial intelligence chatbot will no longer edit “images of real people in revealing clothing” on X, the company confirmed Wednesday evening.
The company’s decision came after facing global outrage over the misuse of Grok, where the AI Chatbot was found to be complying with user requests to digitally undress images of adults and, in some cases, children.
“We have implemented technological measures to prevent the Grok account from allowing the editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis. This restriction applies to all users, including paid subscribers,” X wrote via its Safety team account.
Within the last week xAi, which owns both Grok and X, restricted image generation for Grok on X to paying X premium subscribers
CNN reported that it has been observed that in the last few days, Grok’s X account had modified how it responded in general to users’ image generation requests, even for those subscribed to X premium.
On Wednesday, X reiterated that they “take action against illegal content on X, including Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), by removing it, permanently suspending accounts, and working with local governments and law enforcement as necessary”.
“Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content,” it added.
Musk Says ‘He Was Not Aware’
Meanwhile, Musk also, in a post on ,X said that he was “not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero.”
“Grok will refuse to produce anything illegal, as the operating principle for Grok is to obey the laws of any given country or state,” he added.
However, researchers said that while fully nude images were rare, the biggest issue was Grok complying with user requests to modify images of minors and place them in revealing clothing, including bikinis and underwear, as well as in sexually provocative positions.
