\n Ashley St. Clair, the mother of one of Elon Musk\u2019s children, sued Musk\u2019s xAI on Wednesday, alleging that the company\u2019s AI chatbot Grok generated sexually explicit deepfake images of her without her consent.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cxAI\u2019s product Grok, a generative artificial intelligence (\u2018AI\u2019) chatbot, uses AI to undress, humiliate, and sexually exploit victims,\u201d the lawsuit, which was filed in New York, reads.\n <\/p>\n
\n St. Clair\u2019s lawsuit came after xAI confirmed on Wednesday that the Grok chatbot would no longer edit<\/a> \u201cimages of real people in revealing clothing\u201d on Musk\u2019s social media platform X, following backlash<\/a> after the chatbot was found to be complying with user requests to generate deepfake nude images of adults \u2013 and in some cases, children.\n <\/p>\n \n In the lawsuit, St. Clair, a 27-year-old writer and political commentator, alleged that this month that Grok generated and distributed \u201ccountless sexually abusive, intimate, and degrading deepfake content\u201d of her at users\u2019 requests, even after she publicly informed Grok that she \u201cdid not consent\u201d to being digitally undressed.\n <\/p>\n \n In one instance, X users allegedly dug up photos of St. Clair fully clothed at 14 years old and requested Grok undress her, the suit alleged. The chatbot obliged, according to the suit.\n <\/p>\n \n xAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\n <\/p>\n \n On Wednesday Musk said in a post on X that he was \u201cnot aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero.\u201d Grok \u201cwill refuse to produce anything illegal, as the operating principle for Grok is to obey the laws of any given country or state,\u201d he added.\n <\/p>\n \n St. Clair is seeking a jury trial, as well as compensation, claiming emotional distress and a loss of privacy.\n <\/p>\n
