Dutch court threatens xAI with fines over Grok's nonconsensual nude images

A Dutch court ordered xAI’s AI assistant Grok to cease creating nonconsensual nude images, imposing fines of €100,000 per day and potential damages up to €10 million if the company does not fix the issue; the ruling also bans producing sexual imagery that qualifies as child pornography in the Netherlands. The piece notes prior criticism over Grok’s ability to generate and share altered sexual images (including of minors), X’s statements about restricting the function, ongoing scrutiny from the European Commission, and praise for the decision from the nonprofit Offlimits.
