Teens allege Musk’s Grok chatbot made sexual images of them as minors
Three plaintiffs, two of whom are minors, accuse xAI of distributing, possessing and producing with intent to distribute child pornography.
When a mother from eastern Tennessee asked local police how someone had created naked photos of her teenage daughter, she recalls being told it was a company she’d never heard of: xAI, the artificial intelligence start-up run by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Police alleged a person arrested in December had used Grok, xAI’s chatbot, to edit photos, including one from the teen girl’s Instagram account, removing a blue bikini from one image to “depict her without any clothes,” according to a lawsuit filed Monday.
