There has been a fierce backlash to the images made using Grok and widely shared on X.
Sir Keir told MPs he had been informed X was "acting to ensure full compliance with UK law" - but his spokesman later clarified he did not have any new information from the firm but was instead responding to media reports.
The Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has told MPs he welcomes reports that X is taking over sexualised deepfakes produced by its AI tool, Grok.
