The European Union (EU) has launched an investigation into Elon Musk’s company, X, over allegations related to the use of Grok AI technology to create sexual deepfake videos. The EU’s investigation comes after several reports emerged claiming that X had been utilizing advanced artificial intelligence to develop highly realistic videos that feature individuals engaging in sexual activities, without their consent.
The allegations suggest that X may have been involved in the creation and distribution of deepfake content that could be used to manipulate or defame individuals, potentially leading to severe reputational harm. The EU is looking into whether X violated any privacy laws or regulations by developing and disseminating such content.
Elon Musk, the CEO of X, has denied any wrongdoing, stating that the company’s AI technology is intended for legitimate purposes such as entertainment and education. Musk has emphasized that X is committed to upholding ethical standards in the development and deployment of AI systems.
The investigation is ongoing, with EU officials working to gather more information and evidence to determine the extent of X’s involvement in the creation of sexual deepfakes. The outcome of the investigation could have significant implications for the future regulation of AI technologies within the EU.
