Musk urged to act on X deepfakes
Daily Post
|January 07, 2026
THE UK Government's Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said Elon Musk’s X must urgently deal with its artificial intelligence Grok being used to create sexualised deepfake images.
-
She backed regulator Ofcom, which is looking into X and xAI, the firm founded by Mr Musk which created Grok, to take “any enforcement action” deemed necessary.
Users of social media platform X appear to have prompted Grok to generate images of children “in minimal clothing”.
A post on the Grok X account said that there have been “isolated cases where users prompted for and received Al images depicting minors in minimal clothing’, and added: “xAI has safe guards, but improvements are ongoing to block such requests entirely.”
Ms Kendall said: “What we have been seeing online in recent days has been absolutely appalling, and unacceptable in decent society. No-one should have to go through the ordeal of seeing intimate deepfakes of themselves online.
