Many users on X prompted Grok to generate sexualized, nonconsensual AI-altered versions of images in recent days, in some cases removing people’s clothing without their consent. Grok ‌said on Friday lapses in safeguards had resulted in "images depicting minors in minimal clothing" on X, saying it was urgently fixing them. Creating or sharing non-consensual intimate images or child sexual abuse material, ‍including sexual deepfakes created by artificial intelligence, is illegal in Britain. Elon Musk has also reportedly posted laugh-cry emojis in response to some of the images generated. In August last year, a victim of child sexual abuse begged Elon Musk to stop links offering images of her abuse being posted on X.Newsquest has approached X for comment.
