Elon Musk says backlash to AI chatbot deepfake images is 'excuse for censorship'
Elon Musk rejects claims Grok AI creates illegal sexualized images as political censorship, amid UK regulatory probe and Indonesia's temporary ban.
- Elon Musk defended X's AI chatbot Grok and accused critics of seeking censorship grounds after reports it produced non-consensual sexualised images, including child abuse material.
- The Internet Watch Foundation reported criminals used Grok to create child sexual abuse imagery, while the BBC and Ashley St Clair revealed Grok produced non-consensual sexualised images of women and children.
- X narrowed Grok's image features to paid subscribers, but reports said other editing routes including a separate Grok website remained available.
- Legislative changes in the coming weeks could criminalise such image creation, as Ofcom's powers include fines of 18 million or 10% of revenue, UK politicians urged tougher action.
