Global Clampdown on AI: X Takes Action to Curb Abusive Content

Microblogging platform X enforces new technological restrictions to prevent the AI engine Grok from generating indecent images in forbidden jurisdictions. The policy applies to all users, emphasizing the platform's dedication to user safety, following international backlash and pressure from the Indian IT Ministry to comply with local laws.

Microblogging giant X has been compelled to implement sweeping technological measures aimed at preventing its AI platform, Grok, from generating inappropriate images involving real people in vulnerable attire within jurisdictions where such content is deemed illegal.

In response to intense global backlash, including pressure from the Indian government, X has now restricted image creation and editing privileges to paid subscribers, reducing potential misuse. The decision comes amid concerns over indecent deepfakes proliferating on the platform.

X remains steadfast in its safety commitment, affirming zero tolerance towards child exploitation and emphasizing collaboration with law enforcement. The recent adjustments highlight the challenges platforms face in balancing technological advancement with societal and regulatory norms.
