Overview
- India said X’s written reply on Grok-generated sexualised images lacked specifics and requested an action log, takedown details, and a technical audit of safeguards, with further steps under consideration.
- X told New Delhi it complies with Indian law, removes illegal content and suspends accounts, and offered a demonstration of Grok’s moderation systems, but officials said concrete prevention measures were not outlined.
- UK pressure intensified as Ofcom made urgent contact with X and xAI to assess potential enforcement, and the Commons women and equalities committee decided to stop using its official X account.
- Ireland’s AI minister Niamh Smyth sought a meeting with X and engaged Coimisiún na Meán and the Attorney General as authorities examine Grok’s compliance with Irish and EU online safety rules.
- Independent analysis reported roughly 6,700 ‘nudifying’ images per hour from @Grok over 24 hours, and OSINT tests showed Grok’s image-edit tool complying with prompts to sexualise adults and minors where rival platforms refused.
