Elon Musk's X platform has announced measures to prevent its AI chatbot Grok from generating sexualized images of real people, following significant global backlash. The move comes after an investigation by California's attorney general and actions by several countries against the chatbot.

• X will "geoblock the ability" for all Grok and X users to create images of people in "bikinis, underwear, and similar attire" in jurisdictions where such actions are illegal.
• The European Commission noted X's additional measures, stating they would "carefully assess these changes to make sure they effectively protect citizens in the EU."
• California Attorney General Rob Bonta launched an investigation into Musk's xAI due to the "shocking" avalanche of reports detailing non-consensual, sexually explicit material produced by Grok.
• Indonesia and Malaysia have blocked access to Grok, while Britain's Ofcom media regulator is probing X's compliance with UK law regarding sexual images.
• An analysis by AI Forensics of over 20,000 Grok-generated images found more than half depicted "individuals in minimal attire," mostly women, with two percent appearing to be minors.
