AI tool faces growing global scrutiny over the spread of nonconsensual sexual images of women and minors on X
Elon Musk said on Wednesday he was not aware of any “naked underage images” generated by xAI’s Grok, as scrutiny of the AI tool intensifies worldwide.
“I not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero,” Musk said in an X post. Musk’s comment comes as xAI and X face growing global scrutiny, including calls by lawmakers and advocacy groups for Apple and Google to drop Grok from app stores, an investigation by UK regulators, and bans or legal action in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.
Musk reiterated that Grok was programmed to refuse illegal requests and must comply with the laws of any given country or state.
“Obviously, Grok does not spontaneously generate images, it does so only according to user requests,” Musk said.
