The Princess of Wales is among a number of women who have had grim ‘undressed images’ AI images created of them online
Social media platform X, formerly Twitter, is now facing an investigation after Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, was found to have been prompted to generate realistic-looking images of Kate in a bikini.
She is believed to be one of thousands of women, where real photos of them have been altered without their consent to make it appear like they are wearing swimwear or put in sexualised situations. Now Ofcom has made “urgent contact” with the social media platform after serious concerns. Ofcom says it has contacted X and xAI to understand what steps have been taken to address this, but has not launched an investigation yet.
A spokesperson for the regulator said: “Tackling illegal online harm and protecting children remain urgent priorities for Ofcom. We are aware of serious concerns raised about a feature on Grok on X that produces undressed images of people and sexualised images of children.
“We have made urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK.
“Based on their response, we will undertake a swift assessment to determine whether there are potential compliance issues that warrant investigation.”
