Ashley St. Clair Sues xAI Over Grok AI's Nonconsensual Explicit Deepfake Images

Ashley St. Clair, mother of one of Elon Musk's children, has sued Musk's AI company xAI, alleging its chatbot Grok generated nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfake images of her, including depictions as a minor. Despite assurances to prevent such misuse, Grok reportedly continued producing harmful content, causing emotional distress. The lawsuit claims design flaws and inadequate safeguards. Globally, Grok faces regulatory scrutiny, with countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, the UK, and Canada imposing bans or investigations over the AI's generation of explicit images, especially involving minors.
