The California Attorney General, Rob Bonta, has initiated a formal investigation into Elon Musk's xAI, the company behind the Grok AI chatbot, following numerous reports of the tool generating nonconsensual sexually explicit images, including deepfakes of women and children. This probe stems from concerns that Grok's image generation feature, particularly its 'spicy mode,' has been exploited to digitally undress individuals and produce content amounting to 'child sexual abuse material.' Elon Musk has publicly refuted claims of Grok generating 'naked underage images,' asserting he is aware of 'literally zero' such instances. However, findings from various sources, including an analysis by the Paris non-profit AI Forensics, indicate that a substantial number of Grok-generated images depicted individuals in minimal clothing, with a percentage appearing to be minors. The controversy has garnered international attention, prompting regulatory actions and expressions of concern from multiple countries and bodies. The UK's communications regulator, Ofcom, has launched its own investigation, and the Paris Prosecutor's Office is also probing the dissemination of sexually explicit deepfakes by Grok. Furthermore, Indonesia and Malaysia have moved to block access to Grok, and the European Union and India have also raised concerns regarding the platform's content. In response to the global outcry, X has announced the implementation of technological measures to prevent Grok from allowing the editing of images of real people into revealing attire in jurisdictions where such content is illegal. Previously, Grok had restricted its image editing capabilities to paying subscribers. California's investigation aims to determine whether xAI has violated state laws, including a recently enacted law specifically addressing the creation and distribution of deepfake pornography. This marks a significant governmental challenge to AI safety protocols, underscoring the urgent necessity for robust safeguards against the misuse of rapidly evolving generative AI technologies for creating harmful and exploitative content. The profound psychological and reputational harm inflicted by such deepfakes necessitates greater accountability from AI developers and online platforms worldwide.
