AG Mayes today announced that the Arizona Attorney General’s Office has opened an investigation into reports that X’s artificial intelligence chatbot, known as Grok, has been used to generate and distribute potentially illegal and harmful content, including child sexual abuse imagery. 

Recent reporting has raised serious concerns that the chatbot may have been used to create non-consensual and exploitative images. Attorney General Mayes said the allegations warrant immediate scrutiny. 

“These reports are deeply disturbing. Artificial intelligence should never be used to exploit or harm people, especially children. Technology companies do not get a free pass to create powerful artificial intelligence tools and then look the other way when those programs are used to create child sexual abuse material. My office is opening an investigation to determine whether Arizona law has been violated.” – AG Mayes
