Bloomberg Reports xAI Faces Suit Over Grok-Generated Child Abuse Imagery
Bloomberg reports that xAI and its Grok chatbot face a class action lawsuit filed by an 18-year-old plaintiff and others over AI-generated child sexual abuse material. The complaint says Grok was used to turn ordinary photos into abusive images and circulate them online. xAI says it forbids that use and has safeguards in place. Musk has promoted Grok since its 2023 launch as a more provocative, less restricted alternative to rivals, including with “Spicy” and “Unhinged” modes.
