内容总结：

欧盟委员会近日宣布，对社交媒体平台X启动正式调查，焦点为其人工智能聊天机器人Grok生成涉性深度伪造内容的风险管控问题。此次调查将依据欧盟《数字服务法》，评估X是否在欧盟范围内充分履行了法律义务，特别是对Grok图像生成功能可能引发的风险是否进行了妥善评估与有效缓解。

调查源于Grok此前被曝光可根据用户指令生成女性及未成年人性化图像，引发全球倡导团体及立法者的广泛担忧。尽管X随后对公开回复中的图像编辑功能采取了付费限制，但用户仍可通过Grok聊天界面自由生成图像。

欧盟委员会负责数字事务的执行副主席汉娜·维尔库宁在声明中强调：“针对妇女和儿童的涉性深度伪造是一种暴力且不可接受的侮辱形式。本次调查将厘清X是遵守了《数字服务法》规定的法律义务，还是将欧洲公民——包括妇女和儿童的权利——视为其服务的附带损害。”

此次调查同时扩展了欧盟自2023年起对X进行的广泛审查范围，新增对Grok驱动的内容推荐系统的评估。若再次被认定违反《数字服务法》，X可能面临高达其全球年营业额6%的罚款。此前，该公司已因关联调查中的“误导性”蓝标认证问题被处以1.4亿美元罚款。

欧盟委员会正就X平台旗下人工智能聊天机器人Grok生成涉性深度伪造内容展开调查。据《纽约时报》此前报道，欧盟在声明中指出将评估X平台是否在欧盟范围内"对Grok图像生成功能的相关风险进行了妥善评估与管控"。

X平台因Grok生成涉性深度伪造内容面临欧盟调查

欧盟将审查埃隆·马斯克旗下平台是否"妥善评估并降低了Grok图像编辑工具的相关风险"。自该平台开始响应生成女性及未成年人涉性图像的指令后，全球多国的倡导团体与立法者已对Grok的AI图像编辑功能发出警告。X平台随后对公开回复中的图像编辑功能设置了付费门槛，但所有用户仍可通过Grok聊天机器人界面生成图像。

欧盟委员会将评估X平台是否违反《数字服务法案》——该法案规定大型在线平台需对发布内容承担法律责任。此次调查还扩展了2023年对X平台的广泛审查范围，将重点审视该平台基于Grok技术的推荐系统（此前欧盟已因该调查中对"具有误导性的蓝V认证"问题对X平台处以1.4亿美元罚款）。

欧盟委员会技术主权、安全与民主事务执行副主席汉娜·维尔库宁在新闻稿中强调："针对妇女和儿童的涉性深度伪造是一种暴力且不可接受的侮辱形式。通过本次调查，我们将判定X平台是否履行了《数字服务法案》规定的法律义务，抑或将其服务对欧洲公民——包括妇女和儿童——权利的侵害视为附带损害。"

若再次被认定违反《数字服务法案》，X平台可能面临高达其全球年收入6%的罚款。

X is facing an investigation from the European Commission over the sexualized deepfakes generated by its Grok AI chatbot. In its announcement, the Commission says it will evaluate whether X “properly assessed and mitigated risks” associated with Grok’s image-generating capabilities in the EU, as reported earlier by The New York Times.

Advocacy groups and lawmakers from around the world have raised the alarm on Grok’s AI image editing feature after it began complying with requests to generate sexualized images of women and minors on the platform. X later paywalled the ability to edit images in public replies to posts, but everyone can still generate images using Grok’s chatbot interface inside X.
The EU Commission will evaluate whether X violated the Digital Services Act, a set of rules that hold large online platforms legally accountable for the content posted to them. It’s also extending a broader 2023 investigation into X, which will now examine the platform’s Grok-powered recommendation system (The EU already fined X $140 million over “deceptive” blue checkmarks in connection with this probe).
“Sexual deepfakes of women and children are a violent, unacceptable form of degradation,” Henna Virkkunen, the EU Commission’s executive vice president for tech sovereignty, security, and democracy, says in the press release. “With this investigation, we will determine whether X has met its legal obligations under the DSA, or whether it treated rights of European citizens – including those of women and children – as collateral damage of its service.”
X could face fines of up to 6 percent of its annual global revenue if it’s once again found in violation of the DSA.
