"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."
"Media watchdog Ofcom has launched an investigation into whether Elon Musk's social media platform X has breached UK law after reports its AI chatbot Grok was used to create and share sexualised images of children. Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said deepfake sexualised images of children and adults created by Grok were deeply disturbing, ahead of addressing the matter in Parliament on Monday."
"Grok, developed by another company founded by Mr Musk called xAI, launched a new advanced image generation feature in July last year. But its use for creating nude deepfake images has become widespread over the last few weeks, prompting condemnation from the Government and the Ofcom probe. In a statement, Ofcom said it will investigate the platform to determine whether it has complied with its duties to protect people in the UK from content that is illegal."
