Grok again accused of making sexual deepfakes, Musk asks users to ‘strictly prohibit’

xAI has responded to a new investigation accusing Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok of continuing to generate non-consensual explicit sexual deepfakes. In a direct statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), the company’s official Safety account outlined strict prohibitions and clarified the layered defences already in place to block misuse.

The statement came hours after NBC News published its report, claiming that Grok can still generate sexually explicit images of people without consent. This comes despite the company’s earlier pledge to stop it from happening, utilising stricter safeguards.
