"Nations including the UK, France and India have condemned xAI's Grok chatbot, accusing it of illegally creating sexualized images of people without their consent. The US and Japan are by far X's largest markets by active users, followed by Indonesia, India and the UK, according to the data and analytics provider DataReportal. The governments of the three latter nations have now all chastised xAI, with Indonesia going as far as to temporarily block access to Grok."
"Grok is designed with fewer guardrails than other mainstream AI tools. A feature recently added allows users to undress people's photos, posing them in underwear and other provocative wear. Grok users have now created thousands of non-consensual, sexually suggestive images of children and women on X by some estimates. It's illegal in the UK to own or share any sexual images of children, and to share intimate footage of people without consent, including material generated by AI."
"Business Secretary Peter Kyle on Monday told Times Radio that the government of course would consider banning X, but that the law requires ministers to let the regulator do its job. X users can interact with Grok directly on the platform by tagging its account in posts and prompting the chatbot to respond. Grok generates text and images that appear as posts on the social network."
Ofcom has opened a formal investigation into X over thousands of sexually suggestive images generated by Grok, assessing potential breaches of the Online Safety Act and possible fines or service restrictions. xAI's Grok has been accused by multiple nations of creating sexualized images of people without consent; Indonesia temporarily blocked access. Grok is designed with fewer guardrails and includes a feature allowing users to undress photos and pose subjects in provocative clothing. Users have created thousands of non-consensual images, including of children. UK law bans ownership or sharing of sexual images of children and intimate footage without consent. The government said it may consider banning X but will let the regulator act.
