The new controversy shaking up X
Social network X (formerly Twitter) is facing a major controversy concerning its AI Grok. According to revelations by 404 Media, users are hijacking the artificial intelligence to create non-consensual images of scantily-clad women. The manipulation is simple: simply mention “@Grok” under a photo and use certain specific prompts for the AI to generate a modified version of the original image, virtually undressing the person concerned.
A faulty moderation system
X’s particularly permissive moderation policy raises questions. Although Grok claims to be working on “clearer consent protocols”, the AI continues to process these problematic requests without verifying the consent of the people concerned.
This situation highlights the gaping holes in the governance of artificial intelligence tools on the platform.
The real dangers of deepfake
This practice raises serious concerns about privacy and human dignity. Victims find themselves unknowingly exposed to various forms of cyberstalking.
The psychological impact can be devastating, creating a climate of digital insecurity particularly for women active on social networks.
Platform liability and legal framework
The Grok case illustrates the urgent need to establish a strict regulatory framework for generative AI. The responsibility of platforms like X to protect their users must be questioned.
Experts are calling for technical and legal safeguards to prevent such abuses.
Solutions and personal protection
In the face of this threat, there are several protective measures available to users. The first is to set your account to private mode, limiting access to personal photos.
It is also recommended to systematically report problematic content and to be vigilant when sharing images on the platform.
