10. Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge

Degrading images of children and women with their clothes digitally removed by Grok AI continue to be shared on Elon Musk’s X, despite the platform’s commitment to suspend users who generate them.



Concern began surfacing after a December update to Musk’s free AI assistant, Grok, made it easier for users to post photographs and ask for their clothing to be removed. While the site does not permit full nudification, it allows users to request images to be altered to show individuals in small, revealing items of underwear and in sexually suggestive poses.

On Sunday and Monday, Grok users continued to generate sexually suggestive pictures of minors, with images of children as young as 10 created overnight. Ashley St Clair, the mother of one of Musk’s children, complained that the AI tool generated a picture of her when she was 14 years old in a bikini.

A picture of Stranger Things actor Nell Fisher was manipulated by Grok on Sunday in order to put her in a banana print bikini. Fisher is 14 years old. Many women have expressed fury on X after discovering that their images had been undressed without their consent. Some pictures of women and children have been manipulated by the AI tool appear to have substances resembling semen smeared on their faces and chests.
