The European Commission has announced the launch of a formal investigation into the social network X due to the use of artificial intelligence Grok to create sexualized images of real people, including women and minors.
The regulator's focus is on a possible violation of obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). According to the European Commission, X has not properly assessed the risks and has not taken sufficient measures to limit them after the integration of Grok into the platform and its recommendation systems.
Against the backdrop of the investigation, businessman and entrepreneur Elon Musk, who owns the social network X, joked on his social network that setting up moderation is often very difficult. He supported his comment with an edited frame from Grand Theft Auto VI.
