Grok was finally updated to stop undressing women and children, X Safety says

TL;DR

  • X's Grok AI has been updated to prevent the generation of images of real people in revealing clothing without consent.
  • The restriction applies to all users, including paid subscribers.
  • Image creation and editing via Grok are now restricted to paid subscribers for enhanced accountability.
  • Geoblocking will be implemented in jurisdictions where generating such images is illegal.
  • California Attorney General Rob Bonta launched an investigation into whether Grok's outputs violate US laws.
  • The UK also investigated Grok over potential violations of its Online Safety Act.
  • Elon Musk initially downplayed the issue, stating no naked underage images were generated.
  • Concerns remain about the normalization of child sexualization and the potential for Grok to be used to create more extreme AI CSAM.
