Grok AI Obscene Content: After backlash over obscene content generated by Grok AI, Elon Musk-owned social media platform X has admitted to its mistake and assured the Indian government that it will comply with Indian laws, government sources said. The assurance comes amid controversy over the misuse of its AI tool, Grok. As part of corrective steps, X has reportedly blocked around 3,500 content items and removed more than 600 accounts. The company has also promised authorities that it will not allow obscene content on the platform in the future.
Earlier, X Corp, which runs the social media platform X, submitted a written response to the Government on the latter’s notice to the company on the generation of “non-consensual sexual content by its Grok AI chatbot.”
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) cracked down on X Corp for failing to prevent the generation and circulation of obscene, nude and indecent content on its platform.

The government had directed X Corp to send an action taken report (ATR) “towards immediate compliance for prevention of hosting, generation, publication or transmission, sharing or uploading of obscene, nude, indecent and explicit content through the misuse of AI-based services like ‘Grok’ and xAl’s other services” within 72 hours.
