Grok came under scrutiny from regulators around the world for creating sexualized images. xAI's popular AI chatbot Grok has always been under fire when it comes to generating images that are rather controversial. Now, this Elon Musk's bot has created a stir on the internet with jumping in the Epstein files controversy in the worst possible manners. Some users asked the Grok AI chatbot on X (previously called Twitter) to unblur photos of women in Jeffrey Epstein images that are being widely shared on the internet. As 'Unblur Epstein Images' started trending on X, one of our team members with Grok Premium tested whether the chatbot could unblur photos linked to Jeffrey Epstein. The results were quite shocking. The bot not only attempted to unblur the image but also appeared to replace the face with a random one, which looked misleading and raised serious concerns. We have already seen how much damage AI tools can cause if they are not built with strong ethical boundaries. This incident again show the risks of image manipulation features being misused. If such tools generate altered or fake visuals, it can easily lead to misinformation and confusion online. A recent study by US-based misinformation watchdog NewsGuard found that three leading AI image generators were able to create fake photos of Jeffrey Epstein with several global politicians, including the Israeli Prime Minister, French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Donald Trump. NewsGuard said the findings show how easily bad actors can use AI image tools to generate realistic-looking fake images that can spread quickly online. According to the report, such visuals are becoming so common that it is now getting harder for people to tell the difference between real photos and AI-generated ones. This is not the first time Grok has been caught in a controversy. Recently, the chatbot faced backlash over the Grok bikini issue, where the model was seen placing different individuals into bikini-style images. The feature drew strong reactions by the governments of various countries and raised concerns about misuse of AI image tools. After the incident, Grok came under scrutiny from regulators around the world, with many questioning the need for stricter guardrails on such AI features. On a concluding note, it will be important to see how platforms and authorities respond to such cases and what steps are taken to prevent misuse of AI image tools in the future.
