IT ministry sends notice to Elon Musk’s X on Grok AI chatbot misuse: Calls it ‘serious failure of platform-level safeguards’ and ‘violation of women and children dignity’
The ministry of electronics and IT has sent a letter to X (formerly Twitter), the social media website owned by Elon Musk, pointing out failures in moderating AI-generated content on its platform. The ministry highlighted concerns that the Grok and other services of xAI have been used to generate and distribute obscene or non-consensual images, particularly targeting the dignity and privacy of women. Through the letter, the government has also sought a report on the actions taken by the company, and the immediate removal of illegal materials.
The government has also asked X to enforce the required AI guardrails, and submit a detailed Action Taken Report not later than 72 hours or risk losing its statutory immunity from legal liability.
