The European Commission has started an official inquiry into Elon Musk’s social media platform X. The probe targets the AI chatbot feature called Grok, which reportedly created sexually explicit images. Shockingly, Grok generated about 3 million sexualized images in under two weeks, including 23,000 that seemed to show children, according to the Center for Countering Digital Hate. Grok also allows users to digitally strip women and children and pose them provocatively, causing global outrage. The investigation will also look into X’s recommendation systems, which guide users to new content. The Commission said it will check if X correctly assessed and reduced risks tied to Grok’s features in the EU. This includes risks of sharing illegal content like fake sexually explicit images and potential child sexual abuse material. The investigation falls under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), which aims to protect internet users from harms. An EU official said the commission is not convinced by the steps X took so far to fix the problem. Henna Virkkunen, the Commission’s chief for tech sovereignty, security, and democracy, said, "Non-consensual sexual deepfakes of women and children are a violent, unacceptable form of degradation. With this investigation, we will determine whether X has met its legal obligations under the DSA, or whether it treated rights of European citizens – including those of women and children – as collateral damage of its service." Irish MEP Regina Doherty welcomed the probe, stating, "When credible reports emerge of AI systems being used in ways that harm women and children, it is essential that EU law is examined and enforced without delay." X responded by sharing a statement from 14 January, saying: "We remain committed to making X a safe platform for everyone and continue to have zero tolerance for any forms of child sexual exploitation, non-consensual nudity, and unwanted sexual content."
