"The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has opened formal investigations into X and xAI over whether Elon Musk's companies have complied with UK data protection law after the chatbot Grok was used to generate sexual deepfake images without consent. It comes after Ofcom launched an investigation into the platform and its chatbot in January amid mounting pressure on X over images produced by Grok. X has since said it has brought in measures to address the issues raised."
"The reports about Grok raise deeply troubling questions about how people's personal data has been used to generate intimate or sexualised images without their knowledge or consent, and whether the necessary safeguards were put in place to prevent this. Losing control of personal data in this way can cause immediate and significant harm. This is particularly the case where children are involved."
