"PARIS French prosecutors raided the offices of social media platform X on Tuesday as part of a preliminary investigation into allegations including spreading child sexual abuse images and deepfakes. They have also summoned billionaire owner Elon Musk for questioning. X and Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI also face intensifying scrutiny from Britain's data privacy regulator, which opened formal investigations into how they handled personal data when they developed and deployed Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok."
"Grok, which was built by xAI and is available through X, sparked global outrage last month after it pumped out a torrent of sexualized nonconsensual deepfake images in response to requests from X users. The French investigation was opened in January last year by the prosecutors' cybercrime unit, the Paris prosecutors' office said in a statement. It's looking into alleged "complicity" in possessing and spreading pornographic images of minors,"
French prosecutors raided X's offices and opened a preliminary probe into allegations including the spreading of child sexual abuse images and sexually explicit deepfakes. Investigators summoned Elon Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino for voluntary interviews and called employees to be heard as witnesses. Britain's data privacy regulator launched formal investigations into X and xAI over how personal data was handled during development and deployment of the Grok chatbot. Grok produced sexualized nonconsensual deepfake images in response to user requests. The Paris cybercrime unit is probing alleged complicity in possessing and spreading pornographic images of minors and manipulation of automated data processing.
