The European Commission is investigating Musk-owned X after its Grok AI chatbot generated sexualised deepfake images. Regulators are examining whether X properly assessed and mitigated risks under the Digital Services Act, following global backlash and prior penalties. The probe is examining whether X took sufficient steps to prevent harm linked to Grok’s image-generation and editing tools within the European Union. The controversy around Grok has prompted action beyond the European Union. Two weeks before the EU announced its probe, British media regulator Ofcom launched an investigation into concerns that Grok was producing sexually intimate deepfake images.Several countries also took temporary measures. Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia blocked access to the chatbot amid growing alarm. The Philippines and Malaysia later restored access after xAI, the company behind Grok, said it had introduced additional safety measures. Other AI platforms have done worse such as ChatGPT but it was not take serious like the case of Grok. Is Elon Musk bbeing targeted ?
