Child abuse material ‘systemic’ on Elon Musk’s X amid Grok scandal, Australian online safety regulator warned
Summary
Australia's online safety regulator warned Elon Musk's X platform that child abuse material was unusually widespread on the service after Grok, a chatbot (an AI designed to have conversations), was used to create sexualized images of women and children. The regulator's letter, sent in January following the incident, pointed out that such harmful content was more accessible on X than on other major social media platforms.
