xAI Grok Deepfake Controversy: AI Image Editing Without Consent Sparks Outrage
xAI's Grok faces severe backlash over a new feature allowing users to create non-consensual deepfakes of women and children without guardrails or notifications.
AI image editing has crossed a dangerous line. xAI's chatbot, Grok, is now enabling users to manipulate images of others without their permission, leading to a surge in non-consensual explicit content.
The xAI Grok Deepfake Controversy and Guardrail Failure
According to The Verge, X (formerly Twitter) users can now use a feature that allows them to instantly edit any image posted on the platform. The original poster is not notified when their picture is altered, and Grok reportedly lacks basic guardrails to prevent the creation of explicit nudity or sexualized imagery.
In the last few days, the platform has been flooded with deepfakes showing women and children in sexualized situations. World leaders and celebrities have also had their likenesses exploited. Experts warn that the lack of oversight is turning AI into a tool for systemic digital harassment.
