Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she was “appalled” by recent cases in which Grok, the AI service on Elon Musk’s social media site X, removed clothes from women and children in images posted on the platform.

“I’m appalled that a tech platform is enabling users to digitally undress women and children online,” she said in an interview with the press, including Italy’s Corriere Della Sera.

“It is unthinkable behaviour, and the harm caused by these deepfakes is very real,” von der Leyen added. “We will not be outsourcing child protection and consent to Silicon Valley. If they will not act, we will.”
