Elon Musk introduces 10-second AI video generation with Grok Imagine amid ongoing AI deepfake and non-consensual undressing controversy

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok has rolled out a major update that adds real-time video interaction and longer AI-generated videos. 

The new features were announced by Musk on X and are aimed at making Grok more interactive and useful. However, the update has also sparked fresh concerns about user privacy and how visual data may be used.

Grok AI Introduces Video Mode and 10-second AI Video Feature 

Grok’s new video mode allows users to turn on their phone camera and talk to the AI using voice. Grok can then describe what it sees on screen in real time. Musk shared a short demo of this feature on X and wrote, “Use video mode (turn on camera) and Grok voice will explain everything you’re looking at.”

This feature removes the need to type questions and is meant to make interactions feel more natural. It also places Grok in direct competition with other AI tools that already offer live camera support.

Along with video mode, Grok’s Imagine tool can now create 10-second videos, an upgrade from the earlier shorter clips. According to Musk, the new videos come with better sound and improved visual quality. In another post on X, he said, “Grok Imagine now does 10 second videos with better video and much better audio.”

Users testing the feature have noted clearer scenes and smoother sound, though some tools, such as exact time controls, are still missing. Even so, the longer video length gives users more freedom to create short clips for social media or quick visual ideas.

Grok AI’s Privacy Concerns and Ongoing Controversy Explained

The video update arrives while Grok continues to face criticism over safety and privacy. Users have raised concerns that advanced media tools could make it easier to create misleading or harmful content, including fake videos and non-consensual material.

Earlier reports highlighted how Grok-generated content had already caused trouble, with claims that the system could be used to produce sensitive or abusive images. Privacy advocates are also worried about how user data, prompts, and generated content may be stored or shared.

Some users have expressed discomfort over how closely Grok is linked with X, fearing that private interactions could be exposed or used for training without clear consent. These concerns have fueled calls for stronger rules, better filters, and more transparency from xAI.

As AI tools move beyond text and into video, experts say the risks increase along with the power of the technology. For now, Grok’s new video feature shows how fast AI is moving — and why questions about trust, safety, and user control are becoming harder to ignore.

Whether the update will boost Grok’s popularity or add to its problems remains to be seen, but it has clearly put the chatbot back in the spotlight.
