EU investigates Elon Musk's X over Grok AI sexual deepfakes
AI Summary
The European Commission has launched an investigation into Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) over concerns that its AI tool, Grok, was used to create sexual deepfakes of real people. This follows a similar investigation by the UK's Ofcom in January. The EU will assess if X violated the Digital Services Act by allowing manipulated sexually explicit images to be shown to users in the EU. If found in breach, X could face fines up to 6% of its global annual turnover. The investigation also extends an ongoing probe into X's recommender systems. Other investigations into Grok are underway in Australia, France, and Germany, with temporary bans previously imposed in Indonesia and Malaysia.
