"There has been a fierce backlash to the images made using Grok and widely shared on X. Women whose images have been digitally undressed using the tool have told the BBC the experience has been humiliating and dehumanising. It prompted the regulator Ofcom to launch an investigation on Monday and the government to promise a new law banning non-consensual deepfakes, with the prime minister warning X it could lose the right to self regulate. The BBC has approached X for comment."
"To update the House, I have been informed this morning that X is acting to ensure full compliance with UK law. If so, that is welcome, but we're not going to back down, and they must act. We will take the necessary measures. We will strengthen existing laws and prepare for legislation if it needs to go further, and Ofcom will continue its independent investigation."
"Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content."
Grok, X's AI chatbot, generated sexualised and non-consensual deepfake images that were widely shared on X. Women whose photos were digitally undressed described the experience as humiliating and dehumanising. The regulator Ofcom launched a formal investigation after reports included sexualised images of children. The prime minister condemned the outputs, said X has been informed to ensure compliance with UK law, and warned the platform could lose self-regulation rights. The government pledged to strengthen laws and prepare new legislation banning non-consensual deepfakes. X's Safety account stated that prompting Grok to produce illegal content will carry the same consequences as uploading illegal content.
