former trillionaire<\/a> without even mentioning his name.<\/p>\n\u201cBig Tech has taken shocking steps to limit restrictions on or accountability for these objectively predatory A.I. product features,\u201d they correctly observed.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost recently, ahead of the Minnesota law to ban \u2018nudification\u2019 apps going into effect tomorrow, the trillionaire leader of the tech company responsible for X\u2019s Grok, sued the state of Minnesota to stop the law from going into place,\u201d Harry and Meghan described.<\/p>\n
Though they did not name Musk, he was briefly valued by credulous investors at $1 trillion due to one of his hodgepodge companies, SpaceX, going public under relaxed restrictions. He is no longer a trillionaire by any measure.<\/p>\n
And, of course, his program is now the most infamous for producing nude renderings of women and especially of children. These are not harmless drawings, but realistic-looking depictions of real people. These images are used to harass or exact revenge upon these victims.<\/p>\n
\nMeghan and Harry mused about \u201cwhy someone would try to stop a ban on AI technology producing deepfakes of people and children in the nude without their consent.\u201d<\/p>\n
They then described multiple groups in the US and UK, including children. All of whom had filed suits against xAI\u2019s grok.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company is mitigating risk to their bottom line instead of aggressively responding to the clear evidence their product features are enabling predators to prey on women and children,\u201d the couple observed.<\/p>\n
Meghan and Harry did not personally sign the statement, but instead posted it to their website.<\/p>\n
As for the laws against \u201cnudification\u201d programs, those are in places like Minnesota, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, and California. Obviously, there are many states \u2014 and countries \u2014 to go in passing similar legislation.<\/p>\n
\nSome \u2018child safety\u2019 laws do not protect, but laws against this tech will<\/h2>\n
Why are they bringing this up?<\/p>\n
Well, first and foremost, because Meghan and Harry have dedicated a lot of their activism to promoting child safety.<\/p>\n
These \u201cchild internet safety\u201d laws that keep passing in many cases do not make children safe \u2014 only more isolated. <\/p>\n
(Any law that requires people to show an ID and \u201cprove\u201d their age to be online is, at best, poorly conceived. At worst, it\u2019s just a surveillance ploy. It will not keep kids safe, but it will <\/em>make everything worse for adults.)<\/p>\nBut Meghan and Harry aren\u2019t talking about online censorship or mass surveillance. They\u2019re talking about how Musk\u2019s company is suing <\/em>to stop Minnesota to outlaw \u201cnudification.\u201d<\/p>\n\nTo hear the xAI legal team tell it, the laws against \u201cnudification\u201d are oppressing free speech.<\/p>\n
It would be easy to imagine a law that, by accident or malicious design, restricted actual art. Remember, real art is just a drawing, and has no victim. Feeding a photo of your coworker or your ex or a literal child <\/em>into a program that renders a nude or further sexualized image of them is very different.<\/p>\nBut Minnesota\u2019s law does not appear to be overbroad. We are not legal scholars, but it is our understanding that the laws target the underlying tech, making it clear that they\u2019re not sending shock troops to raid art museums.<\/p>\n
That seems to be an issue that critics have with Minnesota\u2019s law \u2014 that it targets this tech.<\/p>\n
All AI-generated slop images are bad. They\u2019re environmentally destructive and they are repulsive, all built upon stolen images and stolen art. Just like how slop writing and slop answers are bad (and inaccurate).<\/p>\n
But we can acknowledge that slop that directly ruins lives as a tool of revenge and harassment is worse. Meghan and Harry are right to call out Musk.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
