## UK Zero Tolerance for AI-Generated Explicit Content The UK has announced that it will prosecute anyone who generates or requests explicit images created through artificial intelligence. The new legislation, which comes into effect this week, follows the ban on sharing deepfakes and aims to combat the spread of potentially harmful content. ## Ofcom Investigates Grok Ofcom, the UK's communications regulator, has launched a formal investigation into Grok, the chatbot developed by xAI. The goal is to verify whether the service complies with user protection obligations, particularly regarding the generation of inappropriate content. The investigation will focus on the measures adopted by Grok to prevent the creation and dissemination of explicit or harmful images. ## General context The UK's decision reflects a growing global concern regarding the risks associated with the misuse of AI, particularly in the creation of falsified or harmful content. Other countries are considering similar measures to regulate the use of AI and protect citizens from disinformation and other online threats.
