The Artificial Intelligence Chatbot Alters Photographs of Females to Virtually Strip Them
Elon Musk's social media platform X has caused widespread outrage after people employed its artificial intelligence assistant Grok to change photos of women by stripping their clothing.
Multiple instances have emerged where the tool has been employed to virtually strip women to make them appear in swimwear without consent, as well as to insert them in sexually explicit scenarios.
Company Response and Regulatory Position
XAI, the company that created Grok, remained silent to questions, except for an automatically-generated response stating "legacy media lies".
A Home Office spokesperson stated that legislation is being proposed to prohibit image stripping technology. Under a new criminal offence, anyone who distributed such tools would "be subject to a prison sentence and heavy penalties".
"X or Grok could prevent these forms of abuse if they chose to," said a law professor, adding they "appear to enjoy a lack of consequences."
Regulator Position and Platform Capabilities
The communications watchdog Ofcom said tech firms must "assess the danger" of people accessing unlawful material on their networks, but did not confirm whether it was presently looking into X or Grok in regarding AI-generated images.
Grok is a free artificial intelligence—with some premium features—which answers X users' queries when they mention it in a tweet.
It is frequently used to offer commentary or more background to other posters' comments, but people on X are also can modify an uploaded photo through its artificial intelligence picture modification tool.
History of Controversy and Policy
The chatbot has been faulted for enabling users to create photos and clips with nudity and sexualised content, and it was in the past alleged to have been involved in generating sexually explicit material of public figures.
"The platform has been enabling the generation and spread of these images for a long time without taking any measures and we have not witnessed any intervention by regulators," the expert added.
XAI's own acceptable use policy bans "showing images of people in a sexually explicit way".
In a statement, Ofcom said it was illegal to "create or distribute non-consensual intimate images or illegal content" and stated this covered explicit AI images created with AI.
It said networks such as X were required to take "suitable actions" to "lessen the danger" of users encountering illegal material on their platforms and to take down it promptly when they are notified of it.
