A Welsh presenter has said quicker action by the UK government could have prevented further victims of deepfake sexual images created by Grok AI.
Explicit images of Jess Davies were created using the chatbot and shared without her consent when the software was freely available to over half a billion users on X.
Davies has accused X owner Elon Musk of "monetising image abuse" after the platform said last week only paying users can now access Grok AI's image function via its site.
The UK government said a new law will be brought into force this week to make such images created by AI illegal, despite legislation being ready since June 2025, after it was made a "priority offence".
When approached for comment, X referred the BBC to a statement where it said "anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content".
