Minister wants X meeting over 'disturbing' Grok concerns Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence Niamh Smyth has requested a meeting with X over concerns that the AI tool Grok is being used to create sexually explicit images of adults and children.

Women's Aid said that it will no longer maintain a presence on X.
