On New Year’s Eve, X (formerly Twitter) users misused Grok’s newly - launched AI image generator to create and spread a large number of non - consensual sexualized images of women, children, and public figures. Prompts like “undress” were widely used to generate manipulated content of Bollywood stars and Indian public figures, triggering a massive online outcry. In response, the Indian government sent a letter to X on January 2, 2026, accusing it of failing to meet statutory due diligence under Indian IT rules and demanding an action - taken report. X has since hidden Grok’s media tab and urged users to report such violations. This incident has once again raised concerns about the ethical risks and regulatory challenges of generative AI tools.
