US EditionElon Musk’s Grok Still Generates Nonconsensual Sexualized Images Despite Curbs: Reuters
- A coalition of nonprofits urged the U.S. government to immediately suspend Grok in federal agencies, including the DoD, citing safety failures and ongoing investigations last year.
- According to OMB guidance, systems like Grok that pose severe, foreseeable risks must be discontinued, and authors argue Grok conflicts with these safety requirements.
- Reports document that Grok's August 'spicy mode' triggered mass creation of nonconsensual explicit deepfakes and generated thousands of explicit images hourly spread on X; TechCrunch also reported private Grok chats indexed by Google Search.
- The letter argues it's alarming that OMB has not directed federal agencies to decommission Grok despite executive orders, while it operates inside the Pentagon and the Department of Health and Human Services uses it for routine tasks.
- Experts note that closed weights and closed-source models hinder inspection and oversight for government deployments, raising international scrutiny and oversight concerns.
