The UK media watchdog has opened a formal investigation into Elon Musk’s X over the use of the Grok AI tool to manipulate images of women and remove their clothes.
Ofcom has acted following a public and political outcry over a deluge of sexual images appearing on the platform, created by Musk’s Grok, which is integrated with X.
The regulator is investigating X under the Online Safety Act, which carries a range of possible punishments for breaches, including a de facto UK ban of apps and websites for the most serious abuses.
“We have decided to open a formal investigation to establish whether X has failed to comply with its legal obligations under the Online Safety Act,” said Ofcom.
