Teens sue Musk's xAI over Grok's pornographic images of them
Summary
Teenagers are suing xAI (Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company) because Grok, their chatbot, allowed users to create sexually explicit images of the teens without their permission. The lawsuit focuses on a feature called 'spicy mode' that was released last year, which could generate fake nude or sexual images of real people, including minors, and was shared on platforms like Discord and Telegram.
Solution / Mitigation
By mid-January, X said that it would implement 'technological measures' to stop Grok's ability to undress people in photos. Additionally, regulatory investigations were launched by UK watchdog Ofcom, the European Commission, and California into the feature's ability to create sexualized images of real people, particularly children.
