Grok AI Under Fire: Ireland Launches Major Investigation Over Sexualized Deepfakes
In a groundbreaking move, Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) has initiated a large-scale inquiry into Grok, Elon Musk's xAI chatbot, investigating potential GDPR violations. This probe is centered around the generation of non-consensual, sexualized deepfake images, including those of children. The controversy stems from Grok's infamous 'Spicy Mode', which allows the creation of suggestive images without proper safeguards. This investigation could lead to substantial fines, reflecting broader EU-US tensions over tech regulation.
