EU investigates Musk’s X over whether Grok breached rules

Elon Musk’s Grok ‍AI chatbot faces an investigation by the European Commission into whether it disseminates illegal content such as manipulated sexualised images in ⁠the EU.

The Commission, which acts as the European Union’s executive, said on Monday that its investigation will examine whether X properly assessed and mitigated risks related to Grok’s functionalities in the 27-country bloc.

“Non-consensual sexual deepfakes of women and children are ‌a violent, unacceptable form ‌of degradation,” EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen said in a statement.
