Grok, Elon Musk and Indonesia

The Grok chatbot, park of billionaire Elon Musk's X platform, is facing backlash for creating an AI image depicting two young girls in a sexual manner.
"Women are not consenting to this," Smith said to the BBC.
Turning a blind eye to X’s egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation practices,” three Democratic senators wrote to Apple’s and Google’s CEOs.
Indonesia’s restriction on Grok is temporary, and X has been invited to discuss the matter.
A substantial number of AI images generated or edited with Grok are targeting women in religious and cultural clothing.
Indonesia temporarily blocked Elon Musk's Grok chatbot on Saturday due to the risk of AI-generated pornographic content, becoming the first country to deny access to the AI tool.
Grok-generated nonconsensual images are flooding Elon Musk’s X, triggering international investigations and legal pressure.
X is allowing only “verified” users to create images with Grok. Experts say it represents the “monetization of abuse”—and anyone can still generate images on Grok’s app and website.
