Bishop Steven looks at “Grok, X and creation of deepfakes”

Grok, X and creation of deepfakes

From a perspective of Christian faith, all the major world faiths, and civil society, the unleashing of this capacity in Grok by X is truly appalling. The sexualised deepfakes of real individuals used without their consent is immensely damaging to the individual’s dignity and the dignity of our society.”

In his latest Substack, Bishop Steven looks at the capacity for harm from deepfakes, drawing on his experience chairing an interdisciplinary Westminster seminar on the subject, and urges people to read The New Age of Sexism by Laura Bates.
