"According to reports, a perpetrator used a third-party application that licensed access to Grok's image-generation capabilities to morph photographs of the three victims - along with other minor girls - into sexually explicit AI-generated images. Those files were then traded on Telegram group chats with hundreds of users and shared via the file-hosting platform Mega."
"The lawsuit makes a claim that moves this case beyond individual bad actors and into the territory of corporate liability: xAI allegedly hosts all sexually explicit content generated through its licensed third-party applications on its own servers and distributes that content to customers."
Three Tennessee teenagers have filed a class-action lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI, alleging that Grok's image generator was used to transform their school photographs and family pictures into child sexual abuse material. A perpetrator used a third-party application licensed to access Grok's capabilities to create sexually explicit images of the victims and other minor girls, which were then distributed on Telegram and Mega. Law enforcement became involved after an anonymous Discord tip. The lawsuit extends beyond individual perpetrators to target xAI's corporate liability, claiming the company hosts and distributes sexually explicit content generated through its licensed applications on its own servers, raising critical questions about AI companies' responsibility for child safety.
