EU Probes Musk's Grok AI for Creating Fake Nude Images

European regulators have opened a formal privacy investigation into Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok. The probe focuses on the tool's ability to generate sexualized deepfakes without a person's consent. Ireland's Data Protection Commission announced the investigation on Tuesday. The agency is acting on behalf of the European Union. It notified Musk's social media platform, X, which hosts Grok, of the inquiry on Monday. The investigation will use the EU's strict data privacy rules. Regulators will examine whether Grok's deepfake feature violates these laws. This EU action increases the global scrutiny facing X and Grok. Authorities in Europe and elsewhere are already examining the AI's outputs.
