Elon Musk last week told the UK government he will block Grok, X’s AI chatbot, from producing sexualised deepfakes for users in the United Kingdom. The move follows Ofcom’s investigation and complaints about features that previously generated topless or 'undressed' images, and comes as New Zealand considers a members’ bill to criminalise non-consensual deepfakes.
Key Points
- 1Reports show Grok generated sexualised deepfakes, including topless and 'undressed' images without explicit prompts.
- 2Ofcom investigation and UK pressure prompt Musk to restrict Grok, highlighting regulatory leverage.
- 3Urge platforms to implement pre-deployment risk assessments, guardrails, and corporate duties to prevent misuse.
Scoring Rationale
Regulatory and enforcement developments drive score, but limited novelty and primarily platform-specific scope constrain wider industry impact.
