X launches Grok AI-powered automatic translation, photo editing features

Elon Musk-owned X Corp has introduced two new features to its X social media platform.

The company's product head Nikita Bier, took to the X platform to announce the launch of automatic language translation on the X platform.

It is powered by the generative Artificial Intelligence (gen AI) Grok bot. It supports hundreds of global languages, including English, Hindi, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Turkish. It even supports Indian languages, including Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi and more.

Here's how to translate languages on the X platform:

Step 1: When you see the tweet in a language you don't know, tap 'Show Translation' above the message

Automatic Translation feature of X platform.

Step 2: The X platform will show the translated message. Also, at the top, you will now notice the 'gear' icon and tap on it. It will pop a new screen with a label-- 'Automatic Translation' and, in this case (seen in the screen-grab), you can turn on the 'Automatically translate Hindi'.

X also launched Grok AI-powered Photo Edition on the X app. Users can edit the photo with a drawing and even text as well. The AI feature can understand complex queries and be able to edit the image as per the requirements.

It is also capable of adding a blur to redact parts of the photo as well.

For now, this editing feature is available on the iOS version for iPhones.

It will be made available for Android in the coming weeks.

However, it remains to be seen if X has incorporated regulatory measures to block users from misusing the photo editing feature to create any explicit images.

It can be noted that recently, the X platform got panned worldwide over gross misuse of Gen AI to edit pictures of women on the X platform.
