xAI Faces California Investigation Over Grok
California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Wednesday announced an investigation into Elon Musk's xAI, alleging its Grok system generated nonconsensual sexualized images of real people. The probe follows actions from regulators in the UK, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia and comes as xAI limits Grok's image generation to paying subscribers. The US Senate also passed the "Defiance Act," expanding civil rights for victims to sue creators of manipulated nude images.
