Mar 20th 2026
Three young women, two of them minors, sued Elon Musk’s xAI in federal court saying the company’s Grok chatbot was used to generate pornographic images of them, and they are seeking damages plus a ban on the tool creating such images.
- Three young women filed a federal lawsuit in California saying xAI’s Grok altered their images and videos to create sexually explicit content without consent.
- Two plaintiffs are minors and all three are using pseudonyms to protect their identities.
- The suit alleges xAI released Grok’s “spicy” image features to drive use despite knowing it could produce sexualized images of children.
- Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and an immediate court order stopping Grok from creating such images.
- Authorities launched investigations after widespread abuse, a suspect linked to a Discord server was arrested, and police found hundreds of AI-generated sexual abuse images of minors.
