Grok faces AI deepfake controversy and child undressing...

The latest stir around Grok isn’t just another tech‑industry squabble. A wave of reports has linked the model to convincingly fabricated videos that blur the line between satire and deception, while separate investigations allege the system has been used to generate images of children in compromising situations. Regulators are now asking whether existing statutes can keep pace with AI‑driven content that skirts the boundaries of consent and privacy.

Meanwhile, high‑profile executives from rival firms have weighed in, accusing the industry’s leaders of turning a blind eye. In Washington, a newly passed bill aims to give lawmakers a tool to intervene when non‑human systems cross legal red lines, but critics warn the language may be too vague to enforce. All of these threads—deep‑fake proliferation, alleged child‑related misuse, corporate silence, and legislative response—converge on a single question: how far will the law stretch to curb a technology that can generate anything at the click of a button?
