Dutch court rules against Grok over AI-generated 'undressing' images

A Dutch court on Thursday ordered Elon Musk's xAI and chatbot Grok not to generate and distribute images "undressing" adults or children, or showing them in sexualised poses with scant or no clothing, without their consent in the Netherlands.



The Amsterdam Court's preliminary injunction, which could set a precedent in Europe, is one of the first times a judge has weighed in on xAI's responsibility for making tools that can be used to easily create sexualised images, amid a flood of complaints and investigations over Grok around the world.



In a written decision, the court said xAI and Grok would be prohibited from "generating and/or distributing sexual imagery ... whereby persons are partially or wholly stripped naked without having given their explicit permission" and it would impose fines of 100,000 euros ($115,350) per day if the companies do not comply.
