California demands Elon Musk's xAI stop producing sexual deepfake content

California AG Rob Bonta ordered xAI to halt production of nonconsensual sexualized deepfakes, including child abuse images, threatening legal action if not stopped within five days.

  • California's Attorney General Rob Bonta sent a cease-and-desist letter to xAI, demanding the company stop creating and distributing deepfake sexual content and child sexual abuse material.
  • Bonta said the avalanche of reports detailing non-consensual sexually explicit material produced by xAI is shocking and potentially illegal.
  • California's move adds to global pressure on Elon Musk's social media and AI empire, which faces scrutiny in several countries over deepfake sexual content on xAI platforms.
