Description:

The UK will bring into force a law which will make it illegal to create non-consensual intimate images, following widespread concerns over Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot.

Speaking to Labour MPs on Monday, Sir Keir Starmer warned X could lose the "right to self regulate".

"If X cannot control Grok, we will," he said, adding the government would act quickly in response to the issue.

The government also plans to unveil legislation to make it illegal to supply online tools used to create such images.

The BBC has approached X for comment. It previously said: "Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content."
