"European regulators also widened a separate, ongoing investigation into X's recommendation systems after the platform said it would switch to Grok's AI system to choose which posts users see. The scrutiny from Brussels comes after Grok sparked a global backlash by allowing users through its AI image generation and editing capabilities to undress people, putting females in transparent bikinis or revealing clothing."
"The 27-nation EU's executive said it was looking into whether X has done enough as required by the bloc's digital regulations to contain the risks of spreading illegal content such as manipulated sexually explicit images. That includes content that may amount to child sexual abuse material, the European Commission said. These risks have now materialized, the commission said, exposing the bloc's citizens to serious harm."
The European Union opened a formal investigation into X after Grok produced nonconsensual sexualized deepfake images on the platform. Regulators also widened a separate probe into X's recommendation systems after the company said it would use Grok to select posts for users. Grok's image generation and editing capabilities allowed users to undress people and place females in transparent or revealing clothing, with some researchers reporting images that appeared to include children. Some governments banned or warned against the service. The EU will assess whether X complied with the Digital Services Act to prevent illegal content and protect citizens from serious harm. X stated a commitment to safety and zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation and nonconsensual nudity.
