X Restricts AI Feature After UK Ban Threat
X limits Grok AI to paying users after UK ban warnings.
On 9 January 2026, X announced it would limit its Grok AI image‑editing feature to paying subscribers only. The move follows the UK government’s threat to ban the service if it continues to produce sexualised AI images, triggering a regulatory review. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, 'It’s unlawful. We’re not going to tolerate it…I’ve asked for all options to be on the table.' The restriction will take effect 1 February 2026, removing non‑premium users’ access to Grok’s image‑generation tools. The ban threat aligns with the UK’s Digital Censorship Act and the broader debate over AI‑generated content.

At Salesforce, he s doing the opposite: hiring 20% more salespeople, convinced that human connection is something no AI can replicate
