January 11, 2026, 1:24 AM EST. Controversy surrounds Grok, an AI image generator, after reports it produced sexualized images of women and children. Critics say the tool tests the boundaries of consent and decency, prompting politicians and platforms to act. In the UK, ministers weighed options as X faced potential bans over a wave of indecent AI images, and lawmakers condemned moves to curb Grok's function. Grok has since turned off the image generator for most users amid outcry. Separately, lawsuits and policy debates cloud AI's future: questions about legality of posting undressed images without consent, and broader debates over safeguarding, regulation, and the responsibility of platforms hosting AI tools. The debate underscores tensions between innovation, safety, and civil rights.
