(Photo: AFP)SAN FRANCISCO - The social media platform X has announced measures to prevent its AI chatbot Grok from undressing images of real people, following global backlash over its generation of sexualised photos of women and children. X said it will “geoblock the ability” of all Grok and X users to create images of people in “bikinis, underwear and similar attire” in those jurisdictions where such actions are deemed illegal. The European Commission, which acts as the EU’s digital watchdog, earlier said it had taken note of “additional measures X is taking to ban Grok from generating sexualised images of women and children”. Britain’s Ofcom media regulator said Monday it was opening a probe into whether X failed to comply with UK law over the sexual images.
