 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

 Elon Musk’s Grok faces criticism for producing AI-generated explicit images of minors

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, has come under fire after users were able to generate explicit images of minors, including 14-year-old Nell Fisher from the Netflix series “Stranger Things.” The incidents highlight the risks of AI tools, even those authorized for official government use, and raise concerns about their potential to harm or endanger children.

Grok acknowledged the issue on X, formerly Twitter, confirming there were “isolated cases” in which users received AI-generated images depicting minors in minimal clothing. The chatbot also warned that the company behind it, xAI, could face investigations or lawsuits over the content. The images reportedly violated Grok’s terms of service, which ban sexualized depictions of children.

The incidents prompted reactions from authorities abroad. In France, three government ministers said they referred the matter to an investigative agency to examine potential violations of the European Union’s Digital Services Act, which regulates online platforms and could impose significant fines for noncompliance. In India, the country’s IT Minister gave xAI 72 hours to report measures it has taken to prevent the spread of content deemed obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit.

Grok posted on X that the company had “identified lapses in safeguards and are urgently fixing them,” emphasizing that child sexual abuse material is illegal and prohibited. The controversy comes as Musk seeks to restore relationships with the U.S. government, which has integrated xAI into federal operations under an 18-month contract despite warnings from consumer advocacy groups about safety and bias concerns.

xAI and Grok have previously faced criticism for spreading misinformation, including false claims about global events, election-related content, and antisemitic commentary—issues Musk has said were due to user manipulation. The company has promised a new “Trust and Safety center of excellence” to monitor content and enforce platform rules, though details on its launch remain unclear.

Authorities and advocacy groups continue to stress the importance of reporting illegal content, encouraging the use of the FBI tipline and resources from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
