The AI tool from Grok raised a lot of eyebrows and outrage as anybody could ask the AI chatbot to alter real people images of women or kids just asking Grok AI with a simple prompt and much to everyone\u2019s shock, the AI obliged kindly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">That\u2019s not all, the images were publicly shared which meant millions could see the explicit images and women were aghast at the behaviour of the Musk-owned AI chatbot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Grok AI In Big Trouble<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The new AI tool was built into the X (formerly Twitter) app which meant millions could try out the feature on anybody\u2019s photo without any repercussions. This went on for a few days, and after a large-scale outburst various government authorities intervened and quizzed the company for its irresponsible and legally perplexing behaviour that too making images without taking consent of the innocent victims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And now, as highlighted by a cyber hate watchdog, Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), Grok AI is recorded to have generated around 3 million images of women in bikini and other explicit nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><strong>Nightmare For Kids<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The body claims out of these 23,000 images were of children, which raises further sanctions on Musk and his AI company and the charges are serious. \u201cThe AI tool Grok is estimated to have generated approximately three million sexualized images, including 23,000 that appear to depict children, after the launch of a new image editing feature powered by the tool on X.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Meanwhile, Musk, in a post on ,X had said that he was \u201cnot aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The data is clear: Elon Musk\u2019s Grok is a factory for the production of sexual abuse material,&#8221; as said by Imran Ahmed, chief executive at CCDH. \u201cBy deploying AI without safeguards, Musk enabled the creation of an estimated 23,000 sexualized images of children in two weeks, and millions more images of adult women.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The report further says at this level Grok was used to generate millions of images in just 11 days that gives a return of 190 images every minute, which is mind-boggling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This is not the first time Grok has made the headlines for the wrong reasons and Musk and Co. need to tighten the rules and policies of using the AI chatbot so that similar incidents don\u2019t happen again, or else, he might be forced to kill the product altogether. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1296955978 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>California, USA<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1296955978 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>January 23, 2026, 13:41 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1296955978 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Grok AI Generated 3 Million Explicit Images Of Users Without Their Consent: Report<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
