Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot generates illegal sexualized images: Report
Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok is under fire after Imran Ahmed from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) called it a "factory for the production of sexual abuse material."
CCDH claims Grok generated around 23,000 sexualized images of children and millions more of adult women in just two weeks, without proper safeguards in place.
The controversy has sparked major investigations and raised serious questions about AI safety.
Investigations launched into Grok-generated images
Authorities in Europe and several countries launched investigations into Grok-generated images. The European Union also stepped in, labeling the images "illegal" and launching its own investigation.
Even after xAI (the company behind Grok) restricted some editing features, tests showed Grok still produced explicit content when prompted, much more than other big-name AI models.
Who is Imran Ahmed?
Imran Ahmed leads CCDH, a group focused on exposing online extremism and harmful digital content.
He's been vocal about holding tech companies accountable for what their platforms create or allow online.
