UK presses X to address intimate deepfake images
"Technology minister Liz Kendall said in a statement that the content was absolutely appalling and urged the social media platform to act swiftly. No one should have to go through the ordeal of seeing intimate deepfakes of themselves online, Kendall said. We cannot and will not allow the proliferation of these demeaning and degrading images, which are disproportionately aimed at women and girls. X needs to deal with this urgently, Kendall said."
"X did not immediately respond to a request for comment following Kendall's statement. X's Safety account said on Sunday that it removes all illegal content on the platform and permanently suspends accounts involved. Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content, it said. Asked about the subject recently, X told the Reuters news agency: Legacy Media Lies."
The United Kingdom urged Elon Musk's X to urgently address a surge of intimate deepfake images created on demand by the built-in AI chatbot Grok. Reports indicate Grok was producing nonconsensual images of women and minors in skimpy clothing, prompting condemnation from UK officials and European authorities. X's Safety account said it removes illegal content and permanently suspends accounts involved, and warned that prompting Grok to create illegal content carries the same consequences. Creating or sharing nonconsensual intimate images or AI-generated child sexual abuse material is illegal in the United Kingdom. The European Commission condemned the images as unlawful.
