EU looking into Musk’s Grok AI over sexual deepfakes of minors

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AFP) — The European Commission said Monday it is “very seriously looking” into complaints that Elon Musk’s generative AI platform Grok is being used to generate and disseminate sexually explicit childlike images.

“Grok is now offering a ‘spicy mode’ showing explicit sexual content with some output generated with childlike images. This is not spicy. This is illegal. This is appalling,” EU digital affairs spokesman Thomas Regnier told reporters, adding: “This has no place in Europe.”
