California Attorney General Rob Bonta stated on Tuesday that his office is advancing an artificial intelligence accountability initiative and investigating allegations against Elon Musk's xAI for generating pornographic and explicit images without consent. According to Bonta, the California Attorney General's Office issued a cease-and-desist order to xAI last month amid global regulatory scrutiny over adult and Suspected underage (Note: ' Suspected underage ' is translated as 'suspected minors' in context, but kept as pinyin+explanation here for accuracy; replace with 'suspected minors' in final version) pornographic content generated by its AI chatbot Grok. Bonta emphasized that his office is verifying whether the relevant conduct has ceased and maintaining ongoing communication with xAI. He noted that while xAI has shifted blame, it still permits paying users to generate some pornographic content. Bonta added, 'Ceasing illegal activities does not mean immunity from liability.' xAI, acquired by Musk's SpaceX, has not yet responded to requests for comment.
