The Indian government has formally escalated tensions with Elon Musk’s social platform, X (formerly Twitter), issuing a strict ultimatum regarding the AI chatbot Grok. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has demanded that the platform address concerns over ‘obscene’ and non-compliant AI-generated content within 72 hours.
This directive highlights the increasing friction between global tech giants and India’s strict digital regulations. Authorities are specifically concerned that Grok may be generating responses that violate local IT laws and cultural sensitivities. The government has requested a detailed ‘action-taken report’ by the deadline, signaling a willingness to enforce compliance if X fails to act swiftly.
For the tech sector, this move underscores the rising challenges of deploying generative AI across diverse legal jurisdictions. As nations worldwide tighten their grip on AI safety, platforms like X face the complex task of aligning their algorithmic outputs with regional content standards without stifling innovation.
