Last week the #EC launched a probe into #Grok following criticism of its ability to produce sexually explicit pictures. Scrutiny of that function came to a head late last year, when it emerged that the #chatbot had produced a flood of digitally undressed images – including of #women & #children – at the behest of users.
The #socialmedia behemoth has since claimed it has taken measures to stop Grok users from creating images of people in revealing clothing.
Both #X chairman #Musk & former X chief executive #LindaYaccarino have been summoned to appear at hearings in April, while X employees will be questioned as witnesses, according to the #Paris prosecutor.
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said the investigation, which initially focused on suspected #abuse of #algorithms, had been broadened to include #Grok’s “sexual deepfakes” & the circulation of “ #Holocaust denial #content.”

Prosecutors in #Paris said they would examine a raft of potential #crimes, including #complicity in the possession & dissemination of #child pornographic images & the breach of a person’s rights with sexually explicit #deepfakes.
Policymakers have struggled to keep pace with rapidly evolving #ArtificialIntelligence #technology & a gulf has emerged between #Europe & the #US on the #regulation of #BigTech & #FreeSpeech.

Earlier on Tuesday, the #UK’s information regulator opened an investigation into #Grok & its potential to produce harmful sexualized images & video #content.
Indonesian & Malaysian authorities blocked Grok in late January but lifted the ban days later, citing measures taken by X to prevent the misuse of the #chatbot [more likely #Musk threatened withdrawal of satellite use].
