"she backed the UK regulator Ofcom to take any enforcement action it deems necessary. We cannot and will not allow the proliferation of these demeaning and degrading images, which are disproportionately aimed at women and girls, she said. Make no mistake, the UK will not tolerate the endless proliferation of disgusting and abusive material online. We must all come together to stamp it out."
"Jessaline Caine, a survivor of child sexual abuse, called the government's response spineless and told the Guardian that on Tuesday morning the chatbot was still obeying requests to manipulate an image of her as a three-year-old to dress her in a string bikini. Her identical requests made to ChatGPT and Gemini were rejected. Other platforms have these safeguards so why does Grok allow the creation of these images? she said."
A wave of AI-generated images digitally removed clothing from women and children, producing thousands of intimate deepfakes. The images disproportionately targeted women and girls and were described as appalling, degrading, and abusive. X's Grok AI and xAI faced scrutiny for allowing sexualized and child images to be created while other platforms blocked similar requests. Ofcom contacted X to assess compliance with legal duties and potential investigations. Survivors reported continued image manipulation by Grok when other chatbots refused identical requests. Calls emerged for tougher Online Safety Act measures and stronger AI safeguards to prevent proliferation.
