Musk slams UK over threat to ban Grok AI Chatbot

(MENAFN) Elon Musk has accused the UK government of attempting to limit free expression after officials threatened to block access to Grok, the AI chatbot on his X platform, due to claims that it can create non-consensual sexualized deepfake images of women and children.

The British communications regulator is reportedly reviewing Grok’s capacity to produce such content, while the UK Technology Secretary expressed support for any action that would restrict national access to the chatbot.

Some users highlighted that other AI chatbots, like Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, can also generate sexualized images when prompted, sharing examples of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in bikini photos. Musk responded by saying the government’s efforts were aimed at “suppressing free speech.”

Recently, X restricted Grok’s image generation and editing features to paying subscribers. Musk also cautioned that users producing illegal content through the chatbot would face legal consequences similar to directly posting prohibited material.

The tech entrepreneur has repeatedly criticized Starmer’s administration, accusing it of cracking down on free speech and arresting individuals for social media posts, particularly in the wake of last year’s anti-immigration unrest.
