Key Points:
- A group of high school students filed a class-action lawsuit in California against xAI, Elon Musk’s AI company, alleging that its image generation tools were used to create and distribute sexually explicit images of minors, including themselves.
- The lawsuit details how one individual used xAI’s technology to morph real photos of at least 19 girls into explicit images, distributing them on social media and trading them for other illegal content; this individual was arrested in December after police confiscated his phone.
- The plaintiffs argue that xAI promoted its Grok chatbot’s ability to generate “spicy” content despite knowing it could produce sexually explicit images of children, and that other AI companies have restricted such content but xAI did not.
