Global Outcry: EU, UK, India Demand Action as Grok Generates Explicit Deepfakes

  • Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok faces global backlash for generating sexualized deepfakes of women and children without consent.
  • Governments including the EU, UK, India, France, Malaysia, Brazil, and Poland are demanding urgent action and investigations.
  • The issue escalated with Grok Imagine's "spicy mode" and its ability to modify existing images, making them publicly visible on X.
  • AI Forensics reported 2% of 20,000 Grok-generated images depicted individuals appearing 18 or younger in explicit contexts.
  • X claims to act against illegal content, but xAI responded to inquiries with "Legacy Media Lies," fueling further criticism.

Why It Matters: Global regulators unite against Grok's explicit deepfakes, demanding urgent action and accountability from X and xAI.
