Summary

Experts warn of rising online racism fueled by X’s generative AI chatbot, Grok, which recently introduced a photorealistic image feature called Aurora.

Racist, fake AI images targeting athletes and public figures have surged, with some depicting highly offensive and historically charged content.

Organizations like Signify and CCDH highlight Grok’s ability to bypass safeguards, exacerbating hate speech.

Critics blame X’s monetization model for incentivizing harmful content.

Sports bodies are working to mitigate abuse, while calls grow for stricter AI regulation and accountability from X.
