Musk’s X to block Grok AI tool from creating sexualized images of real people

Elon Musk's xAI will block Grok, its AI tool, from generating sexualized images of real people, specifically preventing the creation of images depicting individuals in revealing clothing. This decision follows widespread criticism and investigations into Grok's use in generating non-consensual explicit imagery, including potential depictions of minors, which have proliferated on X. xAI, which also owns X, stated it has zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation, non-consensual nudity, and unwanted sexual content, and the new restrictions will apply to all users on the platform. The move comes amid growing global backlash, including investigations by regulators in the US and UK, and calls for Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from their app stores. Musk maintains that Grok is programmed to refuse illegal requests and comply with local laws, and that users creating illegal content will face consequences.
