Elon Musk’s Grok ordered to stop creating AI nudes by Dutch court as legal pressure mounts

Dutch court bans Grok from generating AI nudes.

A Dutch court has prohibited Elon Musk's xAI from generating non-consensual AI-generated nude images, including child sexual abuse material, marking a significant legal development for the company. The injunction, initiated by the non-profit Offlimits, imposes daily fines of €100,000 for non-compliance and requires xAI to pay €2.2 million in legal costs. This ruling adds to the mounting legal pressure on xAI, which is already facing lawsuits and investigations in the U.S. and Europe regarding its AI chatbot Grok.
