Elon Musk's Grok 'Undressing' Problem Isn't Fixed

WIRED

X has placed more restrictions on Grok's ability to generate explicit AI images, but tests show that the updates have created a patchwork of limitations that fail to fully address the issue. Elon Musk's X has introduced new restrictions stopping people from editing and generating images of real people in bikinis or other "revealing clothing." The change in policy on Wednesday night follows global outrage at Grok being used to generate thousands of harmful non-consensual "undressing" photos of women and sexualized images of apparent minors on X. However, while it appears that some safety measures have finally been introduced to Grok's image generation on X, the standalone Grok app and website seem to still be able to generate "undress" style images and pornographic content, according to multiple tests by researchers, WIRED, and other journalists. Other users, meanwhile, say they're no longer to create images and videos as they once were.

Matthew McConaughey trademarks iconic phrase to stop AI misuse

BBC News

Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey has trademarked his image and voice to protect them from unauthorised use by artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. Clips including his famous catchphrase alright, alright, alright from the 1993 film, Dazed and Confused, have been registered to the United States Patent and Trademark Office database, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports. It is the first time an actor has attempted to use trademark law to protect their likeness from AI misuse, his lawyers and an expert said. Stars across Hollywood and the music industry including Scarlett Johansson and Taylor Swift have endured a wave of fake video, audio and images online, created by AI tools. Lawyers for the Magic Mike star told the WSJ they had no current examples of McConaughey's likeness being manipulated by AI, but hoped the trademarks could be used broadly against any unauthorised copies of him.
