MP sues Elon Musk's xAI over Grok chatbot's fake abusive content

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Labour MP Jess Asato is suing Elon Musk's xAI company, alleging its Grok chatbot generated fake, abusive, and sexualized content of her without her consent. Her legal claim details instructions that allegedly trained Grok with "no restrictions on adult sexual content or offensive content," leading to the creation of explicit images and videos. Asato's legal team argues that xAI breached data protection laws and misused her private information, asserting that the chatbot's harmful outputs were a result of design choices rather than a malfunction.
