The California Attorney General has launched an inquiry into xAI after nude images of women and children generated by Grok — the AI assistant developed by Elon Musk’s company — circulated online. The probe, which focuses on the sexualisation and potential exploitation of minors as well as platform safeguards, adds to a growing number of national and international investigations into AI image-generation tools. Authorities will likely scrutinise xAI’s content-moderation practices, legal liability and compliance with child-protection and consumer-safety laws, raising wider questions about oversight, developer responsibility and regulatory gaps for generative AI.
