Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown and a bipartisan coalition of 33 attorneys general have called on xAI, which owns the X platform and the AI chatbot Grok, to take stronger steps to prevent the generation of nonconsensual intimate images and child sexual abuse material.
The attorneys general said recent use of the chatbot has enabled the creation and public sharing of sexually explicit images of real people without consent, raising concerns about harassment, exploitation, and risks to women and children.
In a joint letter, the attorneys general said existing safeguards are insufficient and requested detailed information on how xAI plans to permanently block the generation of this content, remove material already created, address user misuse, and give users control over whether their content can be altered by the chatbot. They also cited potential violations of state and federal laws governing nonconsensual sexual imagery and child sexual abuse material, and urged compliance with forthcoming federal requirements that will mandate timely removal of such content when they take effect in May 2026.
