Lawsuits Against X: Grok Accused of Generating CSAM and Shielding Abusers
Translated by a model; the original is in Russian.
The company X and the Grok neural network it developed are the target of yet another lawsuit, filed on behalf of underage girls who became victims of AI-generated sexualized imagery.
According to the lawsuit, the stepfather of one of the victims used Grok to create roughly seven thousand sexual images featuring his stepdaughter. The man subsequently shot himself.
The plaintiffs contend that xAI, the developer of Grok, was aware of the scale of the abuse yet reported to law enforcement only a single generated prompt — the one that described a gang rape.
The lawsuits also state that X effectively shields users who employ Grok to create child sexual abuse material (CSAM), failing to take adequate measures to curb such activity.
The case adds to a growing list of legal proceedings against X and xAI brought by minors and their representatives. The plaintiffs claim the company failed to provide proper safeguards against the use of its AI tools to create and distribute child sexual abuse material.
The details of the lawsuit, including the exact wording of the claims and the status of the proceedings, have not yet been disclosed.
