By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A UK lawmaker is suing Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, seeking a court order to prevent its chatbot, Grok, from generating sexually explicit images. Jess Asato, a Labour Party member, claims that users created fabricated images of her, including a disturbing video, after she criticized Musk and Grok. The lawsuit, filed in London's High Court, alleges misuse of private information and breach of data protection laws, asserting that Grok's design and training facilitated the creation of such content.
