Elon Musk’s X platform has removed editing capabilities from its forthcoming AI assistant, Grok, following incidents where a chatbot produced sexualised content from user photographs. The change was announced after brief public disclosure of the associated content risks.

_2_ The removal of editing functions occurred simultaneously with official statements urging Ofcom, the UK communications regulator, to mobilise all available regulatory tools, including a potential comprehensive ban, against X. The government’s position highlights concerns over the platform’s compliance with data protection and content moderation standards.

_3_ As a result, X’s compliance department has initiated an internal audit to review content generation workflows. The broader objective is to align the platform’s AI services with national and international regulatory expectations. Further updates on the regulatory assessment and the platform’s remediation measures are expected within the upcoming quarters.
