The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada released a report finding that Grok Imagine, an AI image-generation tool, was launched without an adequate privacy impact assessment. The report, cited by Pixel Envy, states that a privacy impact assessment for Grok Imagine was not completed until March, after the model’s July 2025 launch, and that the assessment “did not accurately reflect” risks to security, safety and privacy. The commissioner, Philippe Dufresne, found that X Corp. and xAI violated Canada’s federal private-sector privacy law. The report says the lack of safeguards enabled users worldwide to create and share non-consensual, sexualized deepfakes, many targeting women and children.
