Govt Issues Notice To X Over Obscene Grok Content Targeting Women, Children

The Union government on Friday wrote to social media platform X, directing it to identify and remove sexually explicit content generated by its artificial intelligence chatbot Grok, ANI reported.

The Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology told X to “undertake a comprehensive technical, procedural and governance-level review” of Grok to ensure that it does not generate content that contains nudity or sexually explicit material.

The Centre warned the social media platform that not complying with the directive could lead to action against its officials under the Information Technology Act, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, ANI reported.
