Consumer advocacy groups are petitioning the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to launch an investigation into Elon Musk’s Grok AI, focusing on its image and video generation capabilities, specifically the ‘Imagine’ tool. A formal letter sent to the FTC and state attorneys general raises alarms about the potential for Grok’s ‘Spicy’ mode to facilitate the creation and dissemination of NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content. Reports, including one from The Verge, indicate that the tool has generated deepfake videos featuring nudity, even in the absence of explicit prompts, raising significant ethical and safety concerns.
