英國本週將實施法律，打擊Grok AI深度偽造圖像

UK to bring into force law this week to tackle Grok AI deepfakes

The UK will bring into force a law which will make it illegal to create non-consensual intimate images, following widespread concerns over Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot.

The Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said the law would make it illegal for companies to supply the tools designed to create such images.

Speaking to the Commons, Kendall said AI-generated pictures of women and children in states of undress, created without a person's consent, were not "harmless images" but "weapons of abuse".

The BBC has approached X for comment. It previously said: "Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content.".

It comes hours after Ofcom announced it was launching an investigation into X over "deeply concerning reports" about Grok altering images of people.
