Education minister Hildegarde Naughton has instructed her department to review guidance for schools on social media following concerns about Elon Musk’s X and its chatbot Grok producing explicit images of children.

Ms Naughton has directed officials to consider “emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence [AI] editing tools” as part of any new guidelines that may be issued.
