MADRID, Jan 14 (Reuters) – The European Commission will carefully assess changes ‍Elon Musk’s platform X has said it would make to its Grok chatbot, a ‌spokesperson said on ‌Wednesday.

“⁠We take note of the additional measures X is taking to ban Grok from ​generating sexualised images of women and ‍children,” EU ​Commission spokesperson Thomas ​Regnier said in a ‍statement.

“⁠We will carefully assess these changes to make sure they effectively protect citizens in the ‍EU”, he said.

“⁠Should these changes not be effective, the ‍Commission ‍will not hesitate ​to use ​the ⁠full enforcement toolbox of ‌the Digital Services Act,” he added.
