Elon Musk’s xAI has restricted the image-generation function on its Grok AI model in response to an outcry over the proliferation of fake sexualised images on the X social media platform.

The billionaire entrepreneur came under scrutiny last week after thousands of people began using Grok to generate sexualised deepfakes of women and, in some cases, children — sharing them on X as well as the separate Grok app, both of which are run by Musk’s xAI start-up.

After facing pressure from governments around the world, including bans and threats of legal action, the company late on Wednesday announced that it had “implemented technological measures” to limit Grok from generating certain sexualised images.
