(25News Now) – A bipartisan group of over 35 state attorney’s general, including Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, are demanding that xAI, the company that owns X, formerly Twitter, and AI chatbot Grok, take additional action to prevent Grok from generating nonconsensual intimate images and child sexual abuse material.
In their letter, the attorneys general note that xAI has marketed Grok’s permissive content generation as a selling point and warn that “the ability to create nonconsensual intimate images appears to be a feature, not a bug.”
Raoul cited an LA Times article that found that over a single 24-hour period, the chatbot had generated about 6,700 images an hour that were identified as sexually suggestive. In some cases, images were generated depicting children in minimal clothing or sexual situations.
“Grok has made these images publicly available and sharable at the click of a button,” Raoul said. “It is unacceptable, causes real harm to women and children and, in some cases, may violate the law. This content drives harassment and exploitation, and it deprives people of control over how their bodies and likenesses are portrayed. I’m calling on xAI to ensure that this content can no longer be created and distributed with its products, and to remove any existing content from its platform.”
Raoul and the other attorneys general are demanding assurances that recently implemented measures are effective, durable and consistently enforced.
According to 9to5Mac, three U.S. Senators have asked the CEOs of Apple and Google to pull both the apps of X and Grok “pending a full investigation” of “mass generation of nonconsensual sexualized images of women and children.”
