Musk must urgently deal with Grok AI’s ability to generate sexualised images, government warns

Elon Musk’s X must urgently deal with its in-built artificial intelligence Grok being used to generate “absolutely appalling” fake sexualised images, Technology Secretary Liz Kendall has said.

Ofcom raised “serious concerns” on Monday with the social media platform’s AI tool, as it can be used to create “undressed images of people and sexualised images of children”.

Since the start of the new year, X users – mainly women – have reported that accounts have used Grok to generate images of them without clothing.

There are also several cases where Grok has created sexualised images of children, according to analysis by news agency Reuters.
