January 7th, due to A.I.T Grok IT IS A SOCIAL PLATFORM THAT PRODUCES SEXUALIZED IMAGES THAT INCLUDE MINORSEuropean UnionThis product under the banner of Elon Mask is being examined “in a very serious manner”。
The European Commission spokesman, Thomas Renier, said at the press conference on Monday, local time: “We have noticed that the `spicy model' launched by the X platform or under its banner, Grok, will generate explicit sexual content, some of which also includes images of the image of children.” What he's referring to is the "spicy model" that Grok introduced last year, which produces content with sexual hints。"It's not really hot, it's illegal."
Platform X users have been inducing Grok to digitize “dress” photographs of people who are often female and who appear to be wearing underwear or bikini. The proliferation of such images on this popular social platform has aroused global vigilance on the part of regulators and cyber-security advocates, and many officials, including India, the United Kingdom and France, have strongly condemned the text。
Mask wrote last week on platform X that it would take corrective measures against illegal content by removing illegal content, permanently blocking accounts and, if necessary, cooperating with official investigations. In his post, he stressed that “any person who uses Grok to generate illegal content will face the same consequences as the uploading of illegal content”
Mainstream artificial intelligence models mostly prohibit the production of gender-related images and videos, while xAI locates Grok as a more open product. The system allows for the generation of images of adults exposed in part and with sexual insinuation, but expressly prohibits the production of explicit pornographic material involving portraits of human beings and sexual content involving minors. In some countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, it is an offence to publish personal “deep forgery” of artificial intelligence-generated personal secrets without their consent. How these content boundaries are defined and implemented is a key test of how security mechanisms are embedded in the image generation type artificial intelligence tool。
xAI ' s apparent failure to implement effective protective measures has led to condemnation by global regulators。
The British Media Regulatory Authority (Ofcom) stated on Monday, local time, that it was aware of “significant concerns” about the Grok function and had “urgently contacted Platform X and XAI to request information on measures taken to comply with their legal obligations to protect British users”。
The Government of France, on Friday of local time, accused Grok of producing “manifestly illegal” content on platform X without the consent of the party concerned and pointed out that the matter might be contrary to the EU Digital Services Act. The bill requires large platforms to take measures to reduce the risk of illegal content transmission。
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India has ordered a comprehensive review of the safety function of Grok; the official Malaysian has also indicated that an investigation is under way on the matter following a complaint that Grok has produced “low” content。
PREVIOUSLY, MASK'S X PLATFORM HAD BEEN INVESTIGATED FOR ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF THE EU DIGITAL SERVICES ACT, AND HAD BEEN FINED 120 MILLION EUROS (NOTE: THE CURRENT EXCHANGE RATE IS APPROXIMATELY 982 MILLION YUAN) LAST DECEMBER FOR FAILING TO COMPLY, WHICH WAS THE FIRST NOTICE ISSUED BY THIS CONTROVERSIAL REGULATION OF CONTENT. THE EUROPEAN UNION'S PRIORITY REGULATORY INITIATIVES FOR UNITED STATES SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ENTERPRISES, SUCH AS X, HAVE BEEN STRONGLY CRITICIZED BY THE UNITED STATES PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP'S GOVERNMENT, WHO HAS DESCRIBED THE EUROPEAN REGULATORY BODY'S PRACTICE OF “CENSORING FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION”。
