xAI sued over non-consensual deepfake images of Ashley St Clair, mother of Elon Musk’s child

Ashley St Clair, the mother of one of Elon Musk’s children, on Thursday sued his artificial intelligence (AI) company, xAI, alleging that its chatbot Grok generated sexually explicit images of her without her consent.

Clair, who is Jewish, alleged that Grok digitally dressed her in a bikini adorned with swastikas.

Clair emphasised that xAI failed to prevent Grok, deployed on the social media platform X, from generating explicit images despite prior commitments to do so.
