Ofcom urgently demands explanations from X: Grok AI creates humiliating images

Concerns about illegal content on platform X

According to Главком: The British regulator Ofcom has urgently contacted platform X, founded by Elon Musk, and xAI for clarifications regarding the distribution of humiliating images of children and women. This comes amid concerns raised by politicians in the UK, who have accused the government of delaying the adoption of legislation prohibiting the creation of such images. The European Commission has also expressed its concerns on this issue.

Actions by company X and Grok AI technology

Grok AI, developed by xAI, is actively used for digital clothing removal. The Grok 4.1 update has simplified the process of posting photographs and requests for clothing removal. According to legislation passed in the UK six months ago, creating intimate images is prohibited, but the situation remains relevant as this content continues to spread on platform X.

A spokesperson for X stated that the company is taking measures against illegal content on the platform, including material related to sexual violence against children. In particular, it was noted that:

• X removes such images;
• permanently blocks user accounts that publish them;
• cooperates with local authorities and law enforcement as necessary.

The situation raises concerns in society and requires urgent action from regulators.

This situation underscores the need for more proactive actions from government agencies and technology companies in the fight against illegal content on the internet. Given the growing concern about the safety of children and women, regulators must find effective solutions that allow not only for responding to existing problems but also for preventing their occurrence in the future. In the context of rapid technological advancements, it is essential that legislation keeps pace with changes in the digital environment, ensuring protection against abuse and preserving ethics in the online space.
