Musk's X Takes Measures Against Grok AI's 'Deepfake' Image Generation

Elon Musk's social network X has announced it has taken steps to prevent its AI tool, Grok, from generating images of nude individuals, following investigations launched in several countries. Specifically, X stated it has implemented technological restrictions to prevent the creation of images of real people in revealing attire, such as bikinis. However, the platform is implementing 'geographical blocking' to comply with the legal requirements of each country. The European Union and the United Kingdom have expressed cautious satisfaction with the measures, but warned they will take further action if they are not effective. Malaysia has announced that the measures have not been fully implemented and has appealed to the courts. The creation of images with Grok is now limited to paid subscribers. X has committed to removing illegal content and cooperating with local authorities, but has been criticized for the delay in implementing the measures.
