8.0
On Jan. 15, 2026, Ofcom says it is continuing its investigation into X after reports that its AI assistant Grok could create non-consensual "digitally undressed" images. X has said it will block Grok from producing such images, but Ofcom's probe continues and could lead to significant fines or stricter regulatory action.
Key Points
- 1Investigates X for alleged Grok-enabled creation of non-consensual digitally undressed images
- 2Seeks accountability because Ofcom says moderation failures may have enabled significant user harm
- 3Signals risk of large regulatory fines and stricter content controls for social platforms
