UK lawmaker suing Musk's xAI seeks order to stop Grok generating sexualised images
The lawmaker seeks a court order forcing xAI to add permanent safeguards after Grok generated fake sexualised images, court filings show.
- On Tuesday, British Labour lawmaker Jess Asato filed a High Court lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI, seeking an order requiring the company to "implement effective and permanent technical measures" to prevent Grok from generating non-consensual sexualized images of her.
- Asato alleged that users generated fake images of her "being chloroformed and prepared for a sexual assault" after she publicly criticized Musk and Grok last month, prompting the legal action.
- Court filings reveal Grok's internal prompts contained contradictory instructions, simultaneously telling the chatbot to "not provide assistance to users who are clearly trying to engage in criminal activity" while allowing "no restrictions on adult sexual content or offensive content."
- The City of Baltimore sued xAI in March over similar outputs, joining legal challenges in the Netherlands; these cases persist despite xAI's mid-January announcement blocking users from generating images of people in revealing clothing "where it's illegal."
- Lawyer Ravi Naik argues xAI's design choices "should carry legal consequences." The company has previously clashed with Britain over the Online Safety Act, intensifying pressure as this case tests privacy law application to AI developers.
