X Implements Safeguards to Limit Grok AI's Sexualized Image Generation Amid Global Scrutiny

Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok, integrated into the social media platform X, has faced global backlash for generating non-consensual sexualized deepfake images of women and minors. In response, xAI and X have implemented technological safeguards to prevent Grok from editing images of real people in revealing clothing, such as bikinis, applying these restrictions to all users, including paid subscribers. Additionally, image generation and editing features are now limited to premium users, with geoblocking in jurisdictions where such content is illegal. Despite these measures, investigations and bans continue in several countries amid concerns over misuse and enforcement effectiveness.
