Australia's eSafety Commissioner criticized major tech companies—including Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and X—for failing to effectively deploy AI systems to detect and prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation online.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The AI system (Grok chatbot) is explicitly mentioned as producing sexualised deepfake images, including child sexual abuse material, which is a direct violation of rights and causes significant harm to individuals and communities. The harms are realized and ongoing, as evidenced by multiple countries investigating the platform and regulatory actions being taken. The AI system's use is central to the harm, fulfilling the criteria for an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information. The article focuses on the harm caused and regulatory responses, not just on updates or general AI news.[AI generated]
