EU Probes X Over Grok Sexual Images

The European Commission has opened a formal inquiry as the EU probes X over its deployment of the Grok artificial intelligence tool, which has been linked to the production of sexually explicit images. Regulators are examining whether the company adequately assessed potential risks before releasing the AI system to users.

According to officials, the investigation will focus on whether X complied with the Digital Services Act’s risk mitigation obligations. Grok, part of X’s expanding AI capabilities, has drawn scrutiny for generating content that may violate EU content rules when used improperly.

The Commission has not specified a timeline for conclusions but emphasized the importance of holding tech firms accountable for AI outputs. If violations are confirmed, the company could face financial penalties and mandatory corrective actions.

As the EU probes X for its handling of AI-generated content, the broader regulatory spotlight on artificial intelligence continues to intensify.
