The European Commission has launched a formal investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform X over its AI chatbot, Grok, following reports that the tool was used to create non-consensual sexualized deepfakes of women and minors. Regulators are examining whether the platform violated the Digital Services Act (DSA) by failing to properly assess and mitigate the systemic risks of disseminating illegal and harmful content. European officials emphasized that “digital undressing” and the exploitation of minors are unacceptable violations of privacy that will not be treated as “collateral damage” of technological innovation.
