When AI Harassment Goes Mainstream: Grok’s Scandal & the “Crisis of Impunity”

Season 2025 Episode 8081 | 18m 22s

Grok, AI chatbot for the social media platform X, is being used to generate non-consensual sexual images of women and children. Despite extensive backlash to the imagery, Elon Musk and President Trump claim any attempts to regulate the site would be an attack on free speech.
