The European Commission has launched an investigation into Elon Musk's Grok chatbot.

The European Commission has launched an investigation into the Grok chatbot, developed by Elon Musk's start-up xAI, following allegations that it disseminates manipulated sexualized images. Irish MEP Regina Doherty confirmed that the investigation targets compliance with EU digital legislation, including the protection of fundamental rights and content control. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, emphasized that Europe will not tolerate the irresponsible behaviors of digital platforms, especially regarding the protection of children.

AI-generated images involving naked women and children have been labeled as illegal and outrageous, raising serious questions about the regulation of emerging technologies. xAI previously announced that it has implemented changes to restrict the generation of provocative images, but the investigation will assess whether these measures are sufficient.
