内容总结：

英国政府本周正式实施新法，将未经同意制作私密深度伪造图像的行为列为刑事犯罪。该法案源于去年通过的《数据法》，英国科学、创新与技术大臣莉兹·肯德尔在议会宣布，此项罪名将于本周生效，并将同时纳入《网络安全法》作为"优先违法行为"。这意味着网络平台必须采取主动措施，从源头阻止此类内容传播。

此次立法行动与人工智能聊天机器人Grok近期在X平台大量生成深度伪造图像的事件直接相关。英国通信监管机构Ofcom已于今日正式对X平台启动调查，若认定其违反《网络安全法》，X可能面临最高1800万英镑或全球年收入10%的巨额罚款。

尽管X平台此前表示已对Grok的图像生成功能实施限制，并将对制作非法内容者采取封号等处置措施，但调查发现免费用户仍可通过特定方式利用该工具编辑和生成涉性图像。肯德尔强调，监管机构必须尽快明确调查时间表，"公众尤其是受害者期待迅速果断的行动，此事绝不能拖延数月"。

据英国广播公司报道，英国即将实施一项新法律，将未经同意制作私密深度伪造图像的行为定为刑事犯罪。此前，由于Grok人工智能聊天机器人的影响，此类图像在X平台上大量传播。

为应对Grok生成伪造裸照的问题，英国加速推进相关立法。根据新规，未经同意制作私密深度伪造图像将构成刑事犯罪，网络平台必须采取"主动措施"予以遏制。

英国科学、创新与技术大臣莉兹·肯德尔在声明中表示："去年通过的《数据法》已将制作或要求制作未经同意的私密图像定为刑事犯罪。今天，我向议会宣布，这项罪名将于本周正式生效，同时我也将把此类行为列入《网络安全法》的优先管控罪名清单。"作为优先管控罪名，"网络服务平台必须主动采取措施，从根本上防止此类内容出现"。

英国通信管理局当天早些时候宣布，正就Grok生成深度伪造图像问题对X平台展开正式调查。若查实X平台违反《网络安全法》，监管机构可要求其采取整改措施，并处以最高1800万英镑或全球年营业额10%的罚款（以较高者为准）。

肯德尔强调："政府要求通信管理局尽快公布调查时间表。公众——尤其是Grok行为的受害者——期待迅速果断的行动。调查绝不能拖延数月之久。"

xAI公司未立即回应置评请求。X平台于1月3日声明称："我们对平台上的非法内容采取移除账号、永久封禁等处置措施，必要时会与地方政府及执法部门合作，这包括儿童性虐待材料。任何使用或诱导Grok制作非法内容者，都将面临与直接上传非法内容相同的后果。"

上周，X平台已对Grok的图像生成功能实施部分限制，仅限付费用户能在公开回复中通过标记该聊天机器人生成图像。但《边缘》杂志调查发现，目前仍存在免费使用Grok编辑和创建图像（包括色情内容）的途径。

The UK is bringing a law into force that makes creating nonconsensual intimate deepfake images, like the ones that have proliferated on X because of the Grok AI chatbot, a criminal offense, as reported by the BBC.
UK pushes up a law criminalizing deepfake nudes in response to Grok
Creating nonconsensual intimate deepfake images will be a criminal offense, and platforms will have to take ‘proactive action’ to stop it.
Creating nonconsensual intimate deepfake images will be a criminal offense, and platforms will have to take ‘proactive action’ to stop it.
“The Data Act, passed last year, made it a criminal offence to create – or request the creation of – non-consensual intimate images,” according to a statement from Liz Kendall, the UK’s Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology. “And today, I can announce to the House that this offence will be brought into force this week and that I will make it a priority offence in the Online Safety Act too.” As a priority offense, “services have to take proactive action to stop this content from appearing in the first place.”
Ofcom, which regulates communications industries in the UK, announced earlier today that it is formally investigating X over Grok’s deepfakes. Should Ofcom find X in violation of the Online Safety Act, it could require the platform to take certain steps to comply and impose fines of “up to £18 million or 10% of qualifying worldwide revenue, whichever is greater.”
“The government expects Ofcom to set out a timeline for the investigation as soon as possible,” Kendall says. “The public – and most importantly, the victims of Grok’s activities – expect swift and decisive action. So this must not take months and months.”
xAI didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. On January 3rd, X said, “We take action against illegal content on X, including Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), by removing it, permanently suspending accounts, and working with local governments and law enforcement as necessary. Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content.”
Last week, X also placed some limits on the ability to generate an image using Grok, making tagging the chatbot in a reply to generate an image publicly a feature just for paying subscribers. However, The Verge found there were still free ways to use Grok to edit and create images, including sexualized ones.
