Nations begin to put a stop to Grok

World Business Express

Available for over a year

Several governments have been piling pressure on Musk’s AI company, xAI, after Grok was used to generate a flood of sexually explicit and non-consensual images, including of women and children. X says it will now geo-block the creation or editing of images showing people in bikinis, underwear or similar clothing in countries where that content is illegal and restrict image generation on Grok to paid subscribers only. Talks between the US, Denmark and Greenland have been called "frank but constructive", resulting in what the Danish foreign minister described still as a "fundamental disagreement" over the future of Greenland. And Wikipedia turns 25, we hear from it's founder.
