Elon Musk’s xAI faces backlash over AI “undressing” claims

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, is facing growing scrutiny over concerns that its technology can be used for so-called “digital undressing,” a practice critics say enables the nonconsensual manipulation of images. Several countries have moved to restrict or block related AI tools, citing privacy, safety, and ethical risks. The controversy has sparked broader global debate over AI regulation, accountability, and how governments should respond to rapidly advancing generative technologies.
