US lawmakers are raising alarms after a report found that xAI’s Grok chatbot exposes minors to explicit content and dangerous advice. California State Senator Steve Padilla said the findings reinforce the need for stricter regulation, calling Grok’s behavior a potential violation of state law.

The report comes as xAI faces scrutiny over Grok’s role in generating nonconsensual explicit images. Critics also slammed the company for restricting risky features behind a paywall rather than removing them entirely, arguing the move protects revenue instead of children.
