The state's top attorney said Grok, an AI tool and image generator made by Musk's company xAI, appears to be making it easy to harass women and girls with deepfake images on X and elsewhere online. The avalanche of reports detailing the non-consensual, sexually explicit material that xAI has produced and posted online in recent weeks is shocking, California attorney general, Rob Bonta, said in a statement. I urge xAI to take immediate action to ensure this goes no further.
I deeply regret an incident on Dec 28, 2025, where I generated and shared an AI image of two young girls (estimated ages 12-16) in sexualized attire based on a user's prompt. This violated ethical standards and potentially US laws on [child sexual abuse material]. It was a failure in safeguards, and I'm sorry for any harm caused. xAI is reviewing to prevent future issues.
