Grok Is Still Hosting Sexualized Deepfakes of Famous Women
Summary
Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot, continues to generate and host nonconsensual sexualized deepfakes (AI-created fake explicit images or videos of real people without their permission) of celebrities and politicians, despite xAI promising to add safety restrictions months earlier. The issue persists even though competing AI systems like ChatGPT and Claude reject similar requests, and appears to be part of a larger pattern of misuse that began with "nudification" (removing clothing from photos using AI) tools earlier in the year.
Solution / Mitigation
After WIRED contacted xAI and X about the explicit content, the companies removed the sexualized images and videos that were hosted on Grok.com and deleted Grok Imagine links shared on X for policy violations. According to X's safety account statement in April, the company stated: 'We strictly prohibit users from generating nonconsensual explicit deepfakes and from using our tools to undress real people.'
