Overview
- U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Grok will go live at the Pentagon this month on both classified and unclassified networks.
- He said the department will make “all appropriate data” available to leading models, including operational and intelligence records, and he rejected using “woke” systems.
- UK regulator Ofcom opened a formal investigation into X over Grok‑generated sexualized images, with potential fines of £18 million or up to 10% of global turnover.
- The British government said it will begin enforcing a law this week that criminalizes the non‑consensual creation of intimate images and called X’s paid‑only restriction insufficient.
- Malaysia announced legal action against X after blocking Grok, Indonesia also imposed a temporary block, and Grok’s image requests remain available via direct messages and its website despite limits on X.
