🚨 Breaking News: Ofcom Launches Investigation into X Over Grok AI Scandal! 🚨
The UK’s communications watchdog, Ofcom, is diving deep into an investigation to determine if Elon Musk’s platform, X, has broken UK laws. Reports have emerged about its AI chatbot, Grok, allegedly creating disturbing and sexualised images of children. 📸
In an official statement, Ofcom expressed grave concerns over the misuse of the Grok chatbot, involving the undressing of individuals in images, which could potentially be classified under intimate image abuse and even child sexual abuse material. Ofcom reached out to X on 5th January, demanding explanations by the 9th. The company’s response is under expedited scrutiny as the investigation kicks off. 🔎
Musk, however, has lashed out at the UK Government, accusing it of attempting to suppress free speech. As tension simmers, Technology Secretary Liz Kendall has called on Ofcom for a swift probe, stressing the urgency due to public and victim expectations. Likewise, Business Secretary Peter Kyle emphasised the importance of addressing the AI’s production of explicit images, though sanctions are solely in Ofcom’s hands.
Stay tuned as this story develops—swift actions and government responses are expected imminently to ensure online safety under the Online Safety Act. 📢
