एक्स का कहना है कि वह ग्रोक की छवि-संपादन क्षमताओं के बारे में अपनी नीतियों को बदल रहा है, क्योंकि चैटबॉट पर बच्चों की कामुक छवियां और गैर-सहमति वाली नग्नता उत्पन्न करने का बार-बार आरोप लगने पर कई सप्ताह तक हंगामा हुआ था। In an update shared from the @Safety account on X, the company said it has “implemented technical measures to prevent grok accounts from allowing the editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis.”
According to X, the new security measures will apply to all users whether they pay for Grok or not. xAI is also moving all of Grok’s image-generating features behind its subscriber paywall so that non-paying users will no longer be able to generate images. And it will geoblock “the ability of all users to generate images of real people in bikinis, underwear, and similar attire through the Grok account and Grok in X” in regions where it is illegal.
The company’s statement comes hours after the state of California launched an investigation into XAI and Grok over their handling of AI-generated nudity and child exploitation material. A statement from California Attorney General Rob Bonta cited an analysis that found that “more than half of the 20,000 images generated by xAI between Christmas and New Year’s showed people in minimal clothing,” some of whom appear to be children.
In its update, Earlier in the day, Elon Musk said he was “not aware of any nude underage images created by Grok.” He later added that when its NSFW setting is enabled, “Grok is considered [sic] Allow upper body nudity of fictional adult humans (not real ones) to simulate what can be seen in R-rated movies on Apple TV. He added that “this will vary in other areas” depending on local laws.
Both Malaysia and Indonesia have recently moved to block Grok, citing security concerns and its handling of sexually explicit AI-generated content. In the UK, where regulator Ofcom is also investigating xAI and Grok, officials have also said they would support a similar block of chatbots.
