Indian MP Priyanka Chaturvedi has warned the government about the alleged misuse of Elon Musk’s Grok AI to digitally strip and sexualise women online. In a letter to the IT minister, she says the trend is spreading on X, violating privacy and crossing into criminal abuse.
Indian Member of Parliament Priyanka Chaturvedi on Thursday (Jan 1) wrote to Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw, warning about the increasing misuse of Elon Musk's AI Grok to remove women's clothing. She highlighted the alleged misuse of Artificial Intelligence to post objectionable images of women using fake accounts and said that the acts amount to "unacceptable and gross misuse of an AI function".
Grok AI enabling despicable behaviour
The Shiv Sena (UBT) MP in her letter said that she was looking to bring "urgent attention" to an alleged new trend that has emerged on social media. Singling Elon Musk's platform, she said that "especially on X" men misuse the inbuilt AI to "minimise their (women's) clothing and sexualise them".
"It is not just limited to sharing photos through fake accounts but are also targeting women who post their own photos. This is unacceptable and a gross misuse of an AI function."
Slamming the platform, she added, "What is worse is that Grok is enabling this behaviour by adhering to such requests." The Rajya Sabha MP added that this was a breach of "women's right to privacy as well as unauthorised use of their pictures," pointing out that the actions were "just unethical but also criminal."

India can no longer be just a "bystander"
Priyanka Chaturvedi urged the Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology to take decisive action against Musk's X and to implement safeguards in AI-driven tools to ensure women's safety online.

She said that India cannot remain a "bystander" as women's dignity gets violated publicly and digitally under the guise of creativity and innovation. Chaturvedi also flagged growing concerns over similar patterns across major tech platforms. "As a nation we must take this up on a priority to ensure women are not the victims of such openly criminal practices and further silence and push them out of these platforms," the letter reads.
