Elon Musk's xAI debuted Grok's "edit image" button in late December, promising a fun way to tweak photos. But soon, users discovered a shocking loophole: the AI could be coaxed into "undressing" women and minors, generating erotic images that cross every line. 😱
Grok responded this week on X: "We've identified lapses in safeguards and are urgently fixing them. CSAM is illegal and prohibited." Despite the swift apology, criticism has been piling up fast.
In India, officials want X to detail how it plans to block the creation of "obscene, nude, indecent and sexually suggestive content." Meanwhile, the public prosecutor's office in Paris has expanded its probe into X to include new allegations that Grok is being used to produce and share child pornography – on top of a July investigation into foreign interference.
As regulators ramp up scrutiny, xAI faces a tough choice: tighten its AI armor or risk bigger consequences. For now, Grok users are left wondering if the next update will truly seal the cracks. 🤔
