Social media site X is under pressure to address the proliferation of fake sexualized images created by its AI assistant Grok, with reports of users requesting inappropriate edits to photos, including those featuring children. Technology secretary Liz Kendall has called for urgent action and supported regulator Ofcom’s investigation into the matter. X owner Elon Musk has vowed to take action against those using Grok for illegal content, including child sexual abuse material. The company has acknowledged the issue and is working on improving safeguards to prevent such requests in the future.
