Erika Hilton denounces Grok, Elon Musk’s AI, and calls for the tool to be banned
Federal deputy Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP) reported the social network X and the artificial intelligence tool made available by the platform, Grok, to the Federal Public Ministry and the National Data Protection Agency for violating the right to image and personal information.
According to the deputy, the tool violates image rights by altering photos published online at the request of users, without the consent of the people photographed.
On X, users have asked Grok to remove clothes from photos posted by other users. The command is executed by AI without judgment of age or intellectual property, resulting in doctored photos even showing children in their underwear. The practice is popularly known as deepfake.
