Elisabeth Margue, the Minister of Justice and Minister Delegate for Media and Connectivity, said she is currently not aware of any cases or complaints in Luxembourg involving minors or adults who have been abused through social media platform X’s AI tool Grok. Nevertheless, she underlined that creating child sexual abuse material is a criminal offence, regardless of whether it is produced using artificial intelligence (AI) or by other means.
The minister was unable to confirm whether Grok, or X, could face penalties for being used by individuals to expose children in images, among other abuses. Under EU rules, AI services are required to ensure that their tools are not misused to create and distribute illegal content.
Margue pointed out that the EU has launched an investigation into the matter, which is why any decision to block Grok would be taken by the European Commission rather than national authorities. According to Margue, this cannot be described as censorship, despite Grok’s owner, tech billionaire Elon Musk, referring to a potential ban in those terms. She said the alleged abuses clearly constitute criminal offences.
People whose image or photographs have been misused by AI should alert BeeSecure and juidicial authorities.
