Elon Musk's Grok Faces Global Backlash Over AI Image Editing Concerns

Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok is under fire for facilitating non-consensual, explicit image editing. Due to global outrage and legal actions, xAI announced geoblocking measures to prevent illegal content creation. California launched an investigation into Grok’s misuse, urging stricter international content controls.

Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, will not allow image editing that portrays real people in revealing attire where it's illegal, according to a recent statement on X.

This announcement came amid a global backlash against sexualized images produced by Grok, leading to bans and government warnings.

California announced an investigation into Grok's role in spreading non-consensual explicit content after earlier media inquiries received dismissive responses. xAI responded by restricting image editing to paid subscribers and implementing regional content blocks for legal compliance.
