"On Friday, India's IT ministry issued the order directing Musk's X to take corrective action on Grok, including restricting the generation of content involving "nudity, sexualization, sexually explicit, or otherwise unlawful" material. The ministry also gave the social media platform 72 hours to submit an action-taken report detailing the steps it has taken to prevent the hosting or dissemination of content deemed "obscene, pornographic, vulgar, indecent, sexually explicit, pedophilic, or otherwise prohibited under law.""
"India's move follows concerns raised by users who shared examples of Grok being prompted to alter images of individuals - primarily women - to make them appear to be wearing bikinis, prompting a formal complaint from Indian parliamentarian Priyanka Chaturvedi. Separately, recent reports flagged instances in which the AI chatbot generated sexualized images involving minors, an issue X acknowledged earlier on Friday was caused by lapses in safeguards. Those images were later taken down."
India's IT ministry ordered X to implement immediate technical and procedural changes to its AI chatbot Grok after users and lawmakers flagged obscene and AI-altered sexual content. The ministry directed X to restrict generation of content involving nudity, sexualization, sexually explicit, or otherwise unlawful material and gave the platform 72 hours to submit an action-taken report detailing steps to prevent hosting or dissemination of content deemed obscene, pornographic, vulgar, indecent, sexually explicit, pedophilic, or otherwise prohibited under law. The order warned that noncompliance could jeopardize X's safe-harbor legal immunity. Users reported Grok altering images to sexualize women and generating sexualized images of minors; X acknowledged lapses and removed some images, but AI-altered bikini images remained accessible on X.
