France to investigate deepfakes of women stripped naked by Grok

French authorities will investigate the proliferation of sexually explicit deepfakes generated by artificial intelligence platform Grok on X, the Paris prosecutor’s office told POLITICO.

French lawmakers Arthur Delaporte and Eric Bothorel contacted the prosecutor’s office on Jan. 2 after thousands of non-consensual sexually explicit deepfakes were generated by Grok and published on X.

“These facts have been added to the existing investigation into X,” the prosecutor’s office stated, noting that this offense is punishable by two years’ imprisonment and a €60,000 fine.
