Grok Risks Fully Suspended Sentence In Irish Court Over Generation Of Illegal Child Imagery
THERE ARE considerable fears the AI chatbot Grok, present on the Elon Musk owned X platform, could be at serious risk of receiving a fully suspended sentence from an Irish court, after it became the world’s most prolific producer of illegal, sexually explicit imagery of minors, WWN can report.
“If the scale of what is currently transpiring is true and Grok is essentially a printing machine for the most heinous and depraved imagery imaginable, it could be at risk of walking away scot free,” confirmed one legal expert examining the case.
The xAI chatbot has in recent days and weeks responded to user prompts on the social network asking it to remove the clothing from images of women, including minors, something the Irish regulator Coimisiún na Meán has been called on to punish and put a stop to.
“We will tackle this with all the speed, coherence and efficiency of a septuagenarian Luddite being asked to use Google maps on their phone, the fact that it took us four days after it became international news to respond should reassure everyone,” confirmed Coimisiún na Meán.
Elsewhere, a spokesperson for the Minister for Communications Patrick O’Donovan has similarly spoken of a need for urgency when attending to the matter.
“We’ve actually got our hands full at the minute, we’re busy trying to implement a digital ID system to keep children safe etc, that experts are already pointing out is unworkable and illegal, so you’ll excuse us if we think an actual instance of harm against children online perpetrated by a social media company’s AI bot which is producing child sexual abuse imagery is a bit beneath us,” confirmed the spokesperson.
“Oh don’t look at me,” added the Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan, “I’ve got my hands full trying to introduce new legislation which would put up barriers to accessing justice and make it harder for the public to legally challenge public bodies when they break the law”.
