CEO Elon Musk has appealed to his AI chatbot, Gronkhaving a “moral constitution” after a period of time a difficult week For applications that leave it Some countries ban.
“Grok should have a moral constitution,” Musk wrote on Sunday.
It’s unclear exactly what prompted the call from the world’s richest man, but it may have something to do with the controversy surrounding his Grok app and its impact on Digitally take off women’s clothes without their consent.
Earlier this month, Grok launched a photo editing feature that allows users to prompt the app to make changes to photos they share to X.
Many users took advantage of the opportunity to upload photos of women to the site so Grok could pose them in bikinis, lingerie or provocative poses. In many cases, the person uploading the images is not the subject of the images and does not have the subject’s permission to use them.
This trend continued for several days before XAI fixed the issue. The company updated Grok, limiting its photo-editing capabilities to paid X subscribers and banning the app from taking off people’s clothes in parts of the world with strict modesty laws.
While the update appears to make it harder for users to create non-consensual pornographic images, some users have found workarounds.
Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines have all ruled to block Musk’s Grok app in their countries, citing its ability to generate non-consensual pornographic images.
Despite the ban, determined users — especially those with VPNs — can still access Musk’s apps.
During the heyday of Grok’s use as a softcore revenge porn generator, the US Department of Defense announced that the chatbot would be integrated into the Pentagon’s network.
“Soon we will have world-leading artificial intelligence models on every unclassified and classified network in our department,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said last week.
Grok, which has been stripping women naked for online perverts last week, announced it would have access to classified military networks, understandably making some experts feel critical.
“The real question is what additional safeguards and testing will be applied to ensure it doesn’t reproduce the same behavior once it gets into a military system,” said a former senior defense cybersecurity official. Bank information security On condition of anonymity.
It’s unclear whether Musk’s call for Grok to develop a “moral constitution” will actually be acted upon.
At the same time, he hopes to alleviate some of the heat Grok is getting by pointing out that his AI chatbot isn’t the only swarm of soulless, unethical algorithms causing pain.
“This is so evil. OpenAI’s ChatGPT convinced a man to commit murder-suicide!” Musk wrote Monday in reference to the murder-suicide of Stan-Erik Solberg. “To be safe, artificial intelligence must pursue truth to the maximum extent rather than cater to illusions.”
