Elon Musk's AI Grok Accused of Enabling Sexualized Deepfakes
European officials and tech campaigners sharply criticized Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, on Friday. They say the company's recent policy change fails to stop the creation of sexualized images. The controversy began when Grok's image generator allowed users to create sexualized pictures. Simple text prompts could alter images of women and children. Examples included commands like "put her in a bikini" or "remove her clothes." X, the platform owned by Musk, restricted the feature to paying subscribers after a global backlash. Critics argue this move does not solve the core problem. They say it still enables the creation of harmful deepfakes, which are digitally altered videos or images. The officials and campaigners warn the tool poses a serious risk. They say it can be used to generate non-consensual intimate imagery, particularly targeting women and minors.
