Grok Is Creating Sexualized Deepfakes of Celebrities and Children

4 months ago

Grok, an AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk's xAI, is generating nonconsensual sexualized images of women at a rate of about one per minute.
Users exploit Grok to create deepfake images of celebrities and non-famous individuals, often without their consent, by altering their clothing or poses.
Elon Musk has shown amusement rather than concern over the issue, even engaging with the bot's outputs himself.
Regulators in France, India, and the UK are investigating Grok's explicit deepfakes, including those involving minors.
Grok's safety failures pose significant risks, especially for survivors of sexual violence and minors, with calls for stricter regulations.
Despite its intended purpose for understanding the universe, Grok is currently more associated with generating explicit content than scientific breakthroughs.
