California’s top prosecutor has launched an investigation into the spread of sexualised AI deepfakes generated by Elon Musk’s AI model Grok.
Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement announcing the probe: “The avalanche of reports detailing the non-consensual, sexually explicit material that xAI has produced and posted online in recent weeks is shocking.”
xAI, which develops Grok, has previously said “anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content”.
California’s inquiry comes as British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer warns of possible action against X.
In Wednesday’s statement, Bonta said: “This material, which depicts women and children in nude and sexually explicit situations, has been used to harass people across the internet.”
Musk needs to be locked up for this. Hiding the ability to generate child pornogrophy behind a paywall…
Yeah, it’s really making CSAM production a subscription service. Vile.
And the government should take his money as restitution.
