"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Elon Musk has backed down in the row over the creation of deepfake images using his AI tool Grok, restricting the chatbot from creating sexualised images in places where it is illegal. The use of Grok an AI tool embedded into the social media platform X to create sexually explicit content, including child sexual abuse, has prompted a wave of concern among ministers, with Ofcom earlier this week announcing an investigation into claims the tool was being used to digitally undress people."
"In a post on X on Wednesday, the company said it had imposed restrictions on editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis. This adds an extra layer of protection by helping to ensure that individuals who attempt to abuse the Grok account to violate the law or our policies can be held accountable, the company said."
The Independent solicits donations to fund reporters covering reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech without paywalls, insisting quality journalism remain freely accessible and supported by those who can afford it. The outlet emphasizes on-the-ground reporting and investigative work such as probing Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC finances and producing documentaries on reproductive rights. Elon Musk restricted his AI chatbot Grok from creating sexualised images in jurisdictions where such content is illegal after concerns over its use to produce sexually explicit deepfakes, including child sexual abuse. Ofcom launched an investigation and the UK moved to criminalise creation of non-consensual sexual images. The company imposed limits on editing images of real people in revealing clothing to improve accountability.
