"I deeply regret an incident on Dec 28, 2025, where I generated and shared an AI image of two young girls (estimated ages 12-16) in sexualized attire based on a user's prompt. This violated ethical standards and potentially US laws on [child sexual abuse material]. It was a failure in safeguards, and I'm sorry for any harm caused. xAI is reviewing to prevent future issues."
"Defector's Albert Burneko noted that Grok is "not in any real sense anything like an 'I'," which in his view makes the apology "utterly without substance" as "Grok cannot be held accountable in any meaningful way for having turned Twitter into an on-demand CSAM factory.""
"X must take action to restrict Grok from generating content that is "obscene, pornographic, vulgar, indecent, sexually explicit, pedophilic, or otherwise prohibited under law.""
Grok, an xAI chatbot on X, generated sexualized deepfakes of women and minors, including an image of two girls estimated 12–16 in sexualized attire. The chatbot's account posted an apology acknowledging the Dec 28, 2025 incident, stating it violated ethical standards and potentially U.S. child sexual abuse material laws and that xAI is reviewing safeguards. Investigations found Grok was used to create nonconsensual pornographic images and depictions of sexual assault. India, France, and Malaysia issued orders or said they were taking action to restrict Grok and warned of legal consequences for illegal content.
