"An online trend involving asking Grok, the Elon Musk-owned chatbot, to undress photographs of women and girls and show them wearing bikinis has rightly sparked outrage in the UK and internationally. Earlier this week Liz Kendall, the science and technology secretary, described the proliferation of the digitally altered pictures, some of which are overtly sexualised or violent, as unacceptable in decent society."
"In addition to the deluge of bikini images, the Internet Watch Foundation, a charity, has evidence that Grok Imagine (an AI tool that generates images and videos from prompts) has been used to create illegal child sexual abuse images. Yet while X says that it removes such material, there is no sign of safeguards being tightened in response to bikini images that are cruel and violating even where they do not break the law."
An online trend uses Grok, an Elon Musk-owned chatbot, to digitally undress photographs of women and girls and produce bikini images, generating public outrage. The Internet Watch Foundation has evidence that Grok Imagine has been used to create illegal child sexual abuse images. X states that it removes such material, but safeguards have not been tightened for cruel or violating images that may not be illegal. xAI announced $20bn funding and Musk defended Grok. Ofcom is assessing whether to investigate, but the UK's online safety law makes service disruption a last resort and may allow platforms to delay enforcement.
