X to stop Grok AI from undressing images of real people after backlash | BBC News

Published

on



Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok will no longer be able to edit photos of real people to show them in revealing clothing in jurisdictions where it is illegal, after widespread concern over sexualised AI deepfakes.

“We have implemented technological measures to prevent the Grok account from allowing the editing of images of real people in revealing clothing,” reads an announcement on X.

It also reiterated that only paid users will be able to edit images using Grok on its platform.

This will add an extra layer of protection by helping to ensure that those who try and abuse Grok to violate the law or X’s policies are held accountable, according to the statement.

A spokesperson for UK regulator Ofcom said it was a “welcome development” – but added its investigation into whether the platform had broken UK laws “remains ongoing”.

X’s change was announced hours after California’s top prosecutor said the state was probing the spread of sexualised AI deepfakes, including of children, generated by the AI model.

Israel intensifies Lebanon assault after Trump says “all shooting will stop” | BBC News

Published

on



Israel’s prime minister has ordered attacks on the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, as its conflict with the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah escalates.

Benjamin Netanyahu said “terror targets” in the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahieh would be struck in response to its rocket and drone attacks on Israeli civilians.

Israel’s pledge to step up its strikes in Lebanon came hours after the US president Donald Trump had declared that “all shooting will stop” between Israel and Hezbollah. Trump made the announcement after Iran said it had pulled other of peace talks with the US, in protest at Israel’s offensive in Lebanon

The conflict poses a major obstacle to the US president’s efforts to reach a deal to end its war with Iran. Tehran is insisting that any ceasefire must include Lebanon.

The Israeli military ordered residents of Dahieh to evacuate for their own safety, without giving further details.

Families, crammed into cars stuffed with suitcases, blankets and whatever belongings they could carry, streamed out of Beirut’s suburbs, joining thousands fleeing towards the mountains as fears of further violence mounted.

Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Jon Sudworth, James Landale and Sarah Smith.
