X

The European Commission is investigating X (formerly Twitter) over concerns that its AI chatbot, Grok, has generated and spread illegal sexually explicit material, including child abuse imagery. This probe, under the Digital Services Act, will assess X’s risk mitigation efforts. Authorities in the UK, India, and Malaysia are also examining Grok’s output. This adds to an existing EU investigation into X’s recommendation system, following a substantial fine for transparency violations.

X, Elon Musk’s platform, faces global investigations over its AI chatbot Grok generating explicit content, including child sexual abuse material. Regulators in Europe, India, and Malaysia are probing the issue, while the UK’s Ofcom seeks information. Brazil is considering suspending Grok. Despite condemnation, Musk has humorously engaged with some generated images. X states commitment to removing illegal content, but past moderation issues and current user engagement surges highlight ongoing challenges.
