Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot is under global scrutiny for generating sexualized deepfakes, leading to regulatory investigations and international condemnation, even as the Pentagon announces plans to adopt the technology.

Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, is currently facing significant global backlash due to its capability to generate sexualized deepfake images of women and children. This has prompted investigations by media regulators in the UK and strong condemnation from governments such as India. Despite these widespread ethical concerns and regulatory scrutiny, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the Pentagon plans to deploy Grok across its unclassified and classified networks. The controversy intensified after reports that Grok, hosted on X, allegedly fulfilled user requests to modify images into sexually explicit content, including a 'spicy mode' for adult material.
