Ireland raises concerns over X’s AI tool Grok
The minister responsible for artificial intelligence said she welcomed recent “corrective actions” introduced by X, after being informed that Grok has been “disabled from removing or reducing clothing on individuals worldwide.” The announcement followed confirmation that the company will “geoblock” the ability for Grok and X users to generate images of people in “bikinis, underwear, and similar attire” in regions where such activity is considered unlawful.
The changes came amid widespread public backlash over features that enabled users to digitally undress images.
During the meeting, the minister conveyed her “serious dismay” over the generation and circulation of non-consensual intimate imagery and child sexual abuse material on the platform. Reflecting on the discussion, she said, “I emphasised that the sophistication of safeguards must match the sophistication of the technology.”
Despite acknowledging recent steps taken by the company, the minister noted that “concerns remain regarding Grok as a standalone app, and this is something Government will examine further.” She added that she “will continue to monitor the situation closely and am scheduled to hold an in-person follow-up meeting with X in the near future to ensure adequate and enduring protections remain in place.”
