Commissioner Philippe Dufresne is investigating whether Elon Musk’s social media platform, and its parent company, xAI, got consent from people who were the subjects of deepfakes, including sexually explicit images, using the company’s AI chatbot Grok. (The Logic)
Talking point: X announced Wednesday it had made changes to prevent Grok from editing images of real people to put them in revealing clothing, like bikinis, and would continue to take down illegal images. Governments around the world have denounced the appearance of sexually explicit deepfakes on the site. The Canadian government’s reaction has been more muted than those of the EU and the U.K., which have legislation to regulate harmful content on online platforms. The privacy commissioner was already looking into a complaint about X using Canadians’ personal information to train AI models when he decided to expand his efforts to include the deepfake allegations.
