David Lammy stated that US vice president JD Vance finds sexualised AI-generated deepfakes, particularly those created with Elon Musk’s Grok, to be unacceptable. This issue was raised during their meeting in Washington, where concerns about AI being used to produce inappropriate content online were discussed. Following reports of Grok being used to generate explicit images of women and children, X faced backlash, prompting changes to the tool’s settings. Despite this, Downing Street and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer criticized the response as insufficient. Musk defended Grok on X, emphasizing consequences for illegal content creation. Lammy noted Vance’s recognition of the severity of AI manipulation of images and confirmed ongoing discussions on the issue. Vance also expressed concerns about AI’s role in promoting inappropriate content but has not publicly commented on Grok.
