Following the backlash against Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the UK government will extend online safety laws to cover AI chatbots, ensuring accountability for preventing the generation of illegal or harmful content. Starmer emphasized, 'We will do battle with AI chatbots as we did with Grok,' reflecting a growing concern over the safety of young users online. This initiative coincides with the EU privacy watchdog's inquiry into X regarding sexualized AI images, intensifying scrutiny on Grok (The Hindu, February 17, 2026).
