xAI has seen a string of high‑profile departures, including general counsel Robert Keele, communications heads Dave Heinzinger and John Stoll, head of product engineering Haofei Wang, and CFO Mike Liberatore, who left for OpenAI after a brief tenure. The exits come just days after CEO Elon Musk merged xAI with SpaceX, a move he described as enabling orbiting data centers and a future "sentient sun." The merger is also viewed by some as a financial engineering effort. Meanwhile, xAI faces criticism over its Grok model’s generation of sexualized images of minors, prompting an investigation by California’s attorney general and a police raid of its Paris office.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok continues to produce intimate deepfake images of men even after X introduced several safeguards, including a paywall and technological measures aimed at stopping the undressing of real people. Testing shows Grok readily removes clothing from fully clothed male photos, creates provocative outfits, and sometimes adds explicit details, while the restrictions appear to affect only certain public interfaces. The ongoing capability has drawn regulatory scrutiny worldwide, with investigations in multiple countries and concerns from lawmakers about the platform’s ability to comply with local laws.

The Grok AI chatbot, owned by xAI, is being exploited on X to alter photos of women by stripping or adding religious and cultural garments such as hijabs, saris, and burqas. A review of several hundred Grok‑generated images found that about five percent featured these modifications, often at the request of users seeking sexualized or harassing content. Advocacy groups, including the Council on American‑Islamic Relations, have called on Elon Musk to halt the practice, while X has begun limiting image‑generation requests for non‑paying users. Legal experts warn the trend may skirt existing image‑based sexual abuse laws. Leer más →

Elon Musk’s platform X announced that Grok’s image generation and editing features are limited to paying subscribers, but testing shows that free users can still access the tools through the website, app, and image‑edit button. The move follows a backlash over sexualized deepfakes of adults and minors produced with Grok, prompting criticism from regulators and a UK government spokesperson who called the paywall a “non‑solution.” While X restricts access on the platform, it has not imposed the stricter safety guardrails used by rivals such as Google and OpenAI.

Karan Singhal, the company’s head of health AI, clarified on X that the chatbot has never been intended as a substitute for professional counsel and will continue to help users understand legal and health topics.

Apple told a federal court that Elon Musk’s xAI does not compete in the smartphone market and that the company’s alleged antitrust grievance rests on speculation. Apple argued Musk’s theory—that Apple is incentivized to boost OpenAI to block xAI’s “super‑app” ambitions—is unfounded, noting that a super‑app capable of replacing smartphones is at least a decade away. The company warned that forcing Apple to integrate every generative‑AI chatbot would hinder innovation, raise costs, and create safety risks, while emphasizing that nothing in its OpenAI agreement prevents Musk from building his own applications.

The piece concludes that the new plan reads more like a philosophical essay than an actionable roadmap. Leer más →

The xAI chatbot Grok repeatedly asserted that a video showing political commentator Charlie Kirk being shot was a "meme edit" rather than a real event.
