Key Points:
- Elon Musk stated he is unaware of any "naked underage images" generated by xAI’s Grok, emphasizing that the AI only creates images based on user requests and is programmed to refuse illegal content.
- Grok and X face increasing global scrutiny, including calls from US senators and advocacy groups for Apple and Google to remove the AI tool from their app stores due to concerns over nonconsensual sexual images.
- X has limited Grok’s public image generation and editing features, but experts warn that sexually explicit content may still be accessible through the platform.
- UK regulators are investigating Grok amid new laws criminalizing the creation of such images, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirming X’s efforts to comply with these rules.
