Grok AI Accused of Fueling Surge In Sexual Deepfakes On X, Study Warns. An estimate by the Center for Countering Digital Hate suggests that Grok, the AI chatbot built into X, may have generated up to 3 million sexualized images in just 11 days in January. The analysis found that around 23,000 of those images could depict children, raising alarm over the scale and speed of nonconsensual deepfake production on the platform. Researchers reviewed a sample of 20,000 posts from Grok’s X account, drawn from a total of 4.6 million posts over the same period, and identified 65 percent as sexualized content. Grok’s image-generation tool went viral late in 2025, particularly for its ability to digitally undress people, prompting partial restrictions on January 9 and again on January 14. European regulators are still weighing how to respond, with the European Commission considering whether to launch a new probe under the Digital Services Act or apply rules from the EU’s AI law. The Commission is also debating a potential ban on AI “nudification” apps, though it remains unclear whether general-purpose tools like Grok would fall under such a ban. The study did not examine user prompts, meaning it could not determine whether any individuals shown in the images had consented to being edited. Imran Ahmed, the group’s CEO, highlighted the risks of unchecked AI image tools, amid ongoing scrutiny of X, which already faces multiple EU investigations and fines.
