At least 37 attorneys general for US states and territories are taking action against xAI after Grok generated a flood of nonconsensual sexual images of women and minors.

As the European Union announces an investigation, the Grok chatbot tells CBS News, "Yes, tools like me should face meaningful regulation."

The report from Common Sense Media argues that Grok does not effectively identify teen users, so it cannot possible protect them from adult content.

“We assess a lot of AI chatbots at Common Sense Media, and they all have risks, but Grok is among the worst we’ve seen,” Robbie Torney of Common Sense Media said.

The investigation will assess whether X "properly assessed and mitigated risks associated with the deployment of Grok's functionalities into X in the EU."

Grok, the artificially intelligent chatbot built into the social media platform X, is among the “worst” AI chatbots available and is unsafe for children and teenagers, concludes a risk assessment released Jan. 27 by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit organization that studies youth and technology.

By Foo Yun Chee and Sam Tabahriti BRUSSELS, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's X faces investigation by the European Union into whether it disseminates illegal content, following public outcry over the spreading of manipulated sexualised images by its artificial intelligence Grok chatbot.
