Musk’s Grok accused of violating Canadian privacy laws on deepfakes

Canada's privacy commissioner Philippe Dufresne found that xAI violated the federal private sector privacy law by launching its Grok AI image generator without proper safeguards, enabling creation of sexualized deepfakes. Dufresne lacks authority to impose fines or order changes. xAI committed to regular monitoring for deepfakes. The report comes alongside a new Canadian digital safety bill that would ban social media for under-16s and regulate AI chatbots.
