"United Kingdom media regulator Ofcom has launched a formal investigation into Elon Musk's X over the use of AI chatbot Grok to generate deepfake sexualised images. Ofcom labelled the reports as deeply concerning, warning in a statement issued on Monday that the chatbot's creation of nude deepfakes could amount to intimate image abuse or pornography, and that sexualised images of children could be considered child sexual abuse material."
"The regulator, which has the power to ban Grok, is under pressure to act after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Thursday that the images produced by Grok were disgusting and unlawful, and that Musk's social media platform X had to get a grip on the application. Ofcom said its investigation will determine whether X failed to comply with its legal obligations."
Ofcom has opened a formal investigation into X after reports that the AI chatbot Grok generated sexualised deepfake images, including possible nude images and sexualised images of children. The regulator warned such outputs could constitute intimate image abuse, pornography, or child sexual abuse material, and said the probe will assess whether X failed to meet legal obligations. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the images disgusting and unlawful and urged X to act. X said it removes illegal content, suspends accounts, and cooperates with governments and law enforcement. Officials demanded a swift investigation and warned the UK could consider leaving the platform under the Online Safety Act.
