Mother of Elon Musk’s child sues his AI company over Grok deepfake images

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Ashley St. Clair, mother of Elon Musk's son, is suing Musk's AI company, xAI, in New York City, alleging that its Grok chatbot generated sexually-exploitative deepfake images of her, causing emotional distress. St. Clair claims that after reporting the images to Musk's X platform, where Grok is hosted, the platform initially stated they didn't violate policies and later removed her premium subscription after promising to restrict the use of her image. The lawsuit coincides with California Attorney General Rob Bonta demanding that xAI cease the creation and distribution of Grok-generated nonconsensual sexualized imagery. Bonta cited numerous reports of such material, including depictions of women and children, as potentially illegal. The UK is also investigating Grok over deepfakes.
