Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. Elon Musk\u2019s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok has come under scrutiny after users reportedly generated explicit images of children, including one of a child actress.Axios reported that users on the social media platform X used the AI chatbot Grok to digitally remove the 14-year-old star\u2019s clothing over the past few days. syracuse.com is not naming the actress due to her age.Additionally, there have been an uptick in reports of users using Grok to remove clothing or add bikinis to images of other women, including rapper Iggy Azalea, who, although is of age, did not consent to these sexualized images of her. The \u201cFancy\u201d singer took to X on Friday to air her frustrations, writing: \u201cGrok seriously needs to go.\u201dThe incidents have raised concerns about AI safety, particularly as the chatbot is authorized for official government use through an 18-month contract with the Trump administration.In a Thursday post on X, Grok acknowledged that there have been \u201cisolated cases where users prompted for and received AI images depicting minors in minimal clothing.\u201d A separate post from the AI chatbot on Friday warned that xAI, which is Grok\u2019s parent company, could face \u201cpotential DOJ probes or lawsuits\u201d for producing these images.\u201cAs noted, we\u2019ve identified lapses in safeguards and are urgently fixing them\u2014[child sexual abuse material] is illegal and prohibited,\u201d Grok posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. The generated images appear to violate Grok\u2019s own terms of service, which prohibit the sexualization of children.These images also go against the Take It Down Act, which President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump signed in May 2025. This law made it illegal to \u201cknowingly publish\u201d or threaten to publish intimate images without a person\u2019s consent, including AI-created \u201cdeepfakes.\u201d
