The National Center on Sexual Exploitation sent a statement to The Christian Post saying Grok had created tens of thousands of images that sexualized women and children without their consent. The group called on Congress to act swiftly to regulate AI-powered tools.
Artificial intelligence-generated videos depicting child sexual abuse surged by more than 26,000% in 2025, amid growing concern over Grok, an AI chatbot now under investigation for producing similar content. California Attorney General Rob Bonta has announced an official inquiry into Grok and its parent company, xAI.
The U.K.-based Internet Watch Foundation, or IWF, reported identifying 3,440 such AI-generated videos in 2025, up from just 13 the previous year, with more than half of the videos falling under “category A,” the classification for the most severe forms of abuse, CBS News reported.
The chatbot Grok, developed by Elon Musk’s xAI and integrated with the X platform, became a focal point of controversy in December after Copyleaks, a content detection firm, found it was generating one nonconsensual sexualized image per minute, according to its estimates.
