Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will hold discussions with X.com on the potential impact of the output of its Grok AI on community safety.

The Government’s commitment to tackling online harms applies across all social media companies, and we engage with all major platforms in this regard. Many generative AI services have functionalities that bring them into scope of the Online Safety Act – services in scope will be required to assess the risk of harm to users from illegal content and content that is harmful to children on their services and implement measures to manage and mitigate this risk. Online platforms, including X, will need to fulfil these duties. Ofcom has strong enforcement powers where platforms fail to comply.
