X moves to curb Grok ‘nudification’ feature as Starmer warns platform must comply

UK and EU authorities face mounting pressure to act after Grok was used to generate non-consensual sexual images

The use of Grok — an AI tool embedded in the social media platform X — to create sexually explicit content, including child sexual abuse material, has prompted widespread concern.

Elon Musk’s X is now complying with British law over the much-criticised “nudification” feature in its AI tool Grok, British prime minister Keir Starmer has said.

“I have been informed this morning that X is acting to ensure full compliance with UK law,” the British Labour leader told the House of Commons on Wednesday. “If so, that is welcome, but we’re not going to back down. They must act.”
