California Attorney General Rob Bonta has issued a cease-and-desist order to xAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, over the creation and dissemination of sexual deepfakes. The order specifically addresses concerns that xAI’s Grok AI model could be used to generate and spread non-consensual sexually explicit fabricated images and videos. Bonta’s office is demanding that xAI immediately cease any activities contributing to the production or proliferation of such harmful content, highlighting the serious legal and ethical ramifications associated with these deepfakes.
