Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what conversations she or officials in her Department have had with Ofcom about any enforcement action under the Online Safety Act against X because of content generated by Grok AI that constitutes Priority Illegal Content.

The Department engages regularly with Ofcom on the implementation of the Online Safety Act. Decisions about enforcement action are a matter for Ofcom alone, acting independently and in line with its statutory duties. Ofcom has a current active investigation into X.

The government has separately tabled an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill to allow the government to close gaps in the Online Safety Act and bring unregulated AI services into scope.
