UK watchdog says Grok allegedly made illegal images

The UK’s Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) has identified illegal images on the dark web that it says were generated by Grok, an AI tool linked to Elon Musk’s X platform, depicting sexualized and topless images of girls aged 11 to 13.

The IWF, which classifies and flags online child sexual abuse material for law enforcement, said the images meet the threshold for criminal action under UK law.

The watchdog said these images, allegedly produced using the Grok Imagine tool, were later processed using another AI tool to create more extreme content, including graphic video.
