California AG to probe Musk’s Grok for nonconsensual deepfakes

Multiple authorities—including California’s Attorney General, the UK’s Ofcom, and the Paris Prosecutor’s Office—have opened investigations into xAI’s Grok for allegedly facilitating nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfakes, including images involving minors, while Indonesia and Malaysia announced plans to block access to the tool; Elon Musk responded by denying awareness of illegal images and asserting Grok’s adherence to local laws.
