WASHINGTON/LONDON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Britain's data regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office, said on Wednesday it had asked Elon Musk's X to clarify how it was complying with data protection laws following concerns that Grok, X's built-in artificial intelligence chatbot, was flooding the site with sexually abusive images of women.
"We have contacted X and xAI" - X's owner - "to seek clarity on the measures they have in place to comply with UK data protection law and protect individuals' rights," the ICO said in a statement, acknowledging reports that raised "serious concerns" over the chatbot's output.
