ON JANUARY 13, ACCORDING TO BLOOMBERG, THE BRITISH COMMUNICATIONS REGULATORY AUTHORITY HAS LAUNCHED AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION INTO ELON MASK ' S SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM X. PREVIOUSLY, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOL Grok This investigation is compounded by the generation of sexual insinuations that triggered a global wave of opposition。
According to a statement released on Monday of local time by the British Communications Authority (Ofcom), an official investigation by the agency will confirm the X platform (see below)xA WHETHER OR NOT A SUBSIDIARY OF A COMPANY HAS VIOLATED THE ONLINE SECURITY ACT. THE BILL REQUIRES SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS TO ENSURE USER SECURITY. THIS BRITISH REGULATOR HAS THE POWER TO IMPOSE FINES ON ILLEGAL PLATFORMS OR TO ORDER THEM TO CEASE SERVICE. NEXT, THE BRITISH COMMUNICATIONS AUTHORITY WILL ANALYSE THE EVIDENCE COLLECTED FROM X AND MAKE A PRELIMINARY DECISION。
1AI understands that Grok has a weaker safety protection mechanism than other mainstream artificial intelligence tools through which users can edit pictures and change the target person to an image of wearing underwear or exposed swimming suits. The regulatory body's response to the incident was that Grok users produced a large number of sexual images of children and women without their consent on platform X, which was strongly condemned by multinational parliamentarians around the world。
In England, any child is held or disseminatedPorn ImageIt is against the law; it is also against the law to disseminate private images of others without their consent, including those generated by artificial intelligence。
THE BRITISH MINISTER OF COMMERCE, PETER KERR ZHOU, HAS ALWAYS SAID THAT THE GOVERNMENT “OF COURSE” WOULD CONSIDER BANNING THE X PLATFORM, BUT THAT THE RELEVANT LAW REQUIRED THE MINISTERS TO RESPECT THE INDEPENDENT ENFORCEMENT POWERS OF THE REGULATOR。
Users can interact directly with Grok on the X platform: Mark the log number in the post, triggers the response of this chat robot. The text and images generated by Grok are posted directly on the social platform. After a large number of users requested Grok to provide “strike” image generation services, XAI began to restrict the image generation tool to paid users for X platforms, but the independent Grok application remained free of charge to users。
Mask also sent a warning this month that any user who uses Grok to generate illegal content would “have the same consequences as uploading illegal content”. XAI, for its part, indicated that illegal posts containing child pornography would be removed and the relevant account numbers banned。
Multinational governments and regulatory bodies have criticized Grok for producing pornographic content or have directly banned the service. Last weekend, Indonesia and Malaysia were temporarily blocked, Grok。
According to the British Prime Minister's office, Kiir Stammer, XAI's initiative to limit the image generation function of Grok only to the use of the X platform's fee-paying users is “very inadequate”. Stammer's spokesman, Jerant Ellis, said to the press last Friday at a press conference: “Such restrictions are no more than a solution to turn an artificial intelligence that can generate illegal images into a paid value-added service. This is an affront to the victims of anaemic and sexual violence. This is precisely proof that the X platform is fully capable of acting quickly, provided that it so wishes.”
According to the Internet Watch Foundation, an agency commissioned by the British Government to identify child pornography, the agency found images of “in conflict with the law” children allegedly generated by Grok in a dark web。
The European Commission has ordered Platform X to retain all the internal documentation related to Grok for the end of the year. Previously, the European Union had publicly condemned some of the child pornography images appearing on the platform as constituting an offence。
The Government of France accused Grok of producing “manifestly illegal” pornographic material on X platform without the consent of the person concerned, noting that this could be a violation of the EU Digital Services Act. The regulation requires large platforms to take measures to reduce the risk of illegal content transmission。
