""Our investigation will assess whether XIUC and X.AI have complied with data protection law in the development and deployment of the Grok services, including the safeguards in place to protect people's data rights,""
""Where we find obligations have not been met, we will take action to protect the public.""
""We continue to demand answers from xAI about the risks it poses,""
""a place where laws are ignored and crime is endured. Where disinformation is worth more than truth, and half of users suffer hate speech. A failed state in which algorithms distort the public conversation and our data and images are defied and sold.""
The UK's Information Commissioner's Office launched a formal investigation into xAI after its Grok chatbot produced sexual images of real people without their consent. ICO sent xAI a "please explain" note in early January and has not disclosed whether xAI responded. The investigation will assess whether XIUC and X.AI complied with data protection law in Grok's development and deployment, including safeguards for people's data rights, and will result in action where obligations were not met. Ofcom demanded answers and is considering an investigation into age-check compliance for pornographic content. Spain's prime minister called social media a "failed state" and cited Grok's image creation as an example while criticizing Elon Musk for amplifying disinformation related to a recent Spanish government residency decision.
