EU expands scrutiny of xAI after Grok deepfake controversy
The EU opened a formal Digital Services Act probe into Elon Musk’s xAI over Grok, assessing whether it failed to curb non-consensual deepfakes of women and children and other harmful content; if breaches are found, the company could face fines up to 6% of global turnover, and Grok usage has been restricted to paying subscribers as regulators scrutinize safeguards.
