EU Targets Elon Musk’s Grok in Major Crackdown on AI Abuse
The European Commission has initiated formal proceedings against Grok AI, citing escalating risks associated with deepfakes and illegal content on X. The investigation, launched under the Digital Services Act, focuses on child safety and the proliferation of manipulated media. Brussels is intensifying scrutiny of advanced AI tools, signaling a regulatory shift.
Regulators identified specific concerns around Grok AI's alleged generation of sexualized imagery involving women and minors. X now faces potential penalties for inadequate risk mitigation measures. The probe will also examine how Grok interacts with X's ecosystem, assessing whether existing safeguards remain sufficient.
