Downing St slams Musk 'AI changes'
Burton Mail
|January 10, 2026
CHANGES to Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Grok only serve to make creating deepfakes a “premium service” and are “insulting” to victims of misogyny and sexual violence, Downing Street has said.
-
The Prime Minister's spokesman said changes to limit usage of chatbot Grok’s image editing tool to paying users are “not a solution” but do prove that social media site X can move quickly when it wants to.
The move comes after regulator Ofcom said it made “urgent contact” with X, which created the integrated AI chatbot, following reports users have prompted the tool to generate sexualised images of people, including children.
Grok is now telling people making such requests that only paid subscribers are able to do so - meaning their name and payment information must be on file.
The Prime Minister's spokesman said: “That move... that simply turns an Al feature that allows the creation of unlawful images into a premium service.
