AI tool faces growing global scrutiny over the spread of nonconsensual sexual images of women and minors on X
Elon Musk said on Wednesday he was not aware of any “naked underage images” generated by xAI’s Grok, as scrutiny of the AI tool intensifies worldwide.
“I not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero,” Musk said in an X post. Musk’s comment comes as xAI and X face growing global scrutiny, including calls by lawmakers and advocacy groups for Apple and Google to drop Grok from app stores, an investigation by UK regulators, and bans or legal action in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.
Last week, X curtailed Grok’s ability to generate or edit images publicly for many users, however industry experts and watchdogs have said that Grok was still able to produce sexually explicit images, and that restrictions, such as paywalling certain features, may not fully block access to deeper AI image tools.
Ah yes, the ol’ “i did not have sexual relations” excuse.
The accusation is about scantily-clad, underclothed image generation of real minors, not full on nudity, which is still CSAM in most laws’ eyes, something he conveniently skirts.
It’s more than I didn’t have sexual relations. It’s I don’t know where I don’t remember. The get out of jail free card for politicians in rich people alike.
Look at how often Mike Johnson just says he doesn’t know what’s going on.
