Tennessee minors sue Musk’s xAI, alleging Grok generated explicit images of them
Three Tennessee plaintiffs, including two minors, sued Elon Musk’s xAI on Monday, alleging that it knowingly designed its Grok image generator to let people create sexually explicit content by using real photos of others.
The lawsuit, filed in the San Jose, California federal court, is seeking class-action status for people in the United States who were “reasonably identifiable” in sexualised images or videos generated by Grok based on real images of themselves.
The artificial intelligence company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
After an outcry over sexually explicit content generated by the chatbot, xAI said in January that it had blocked all users from editing images of “real people in revealing clothing” and from generating images of people in revealing clothing in “jurisdictions where it’s illegal.”
Governments and regulators around the world have also since launched probes, imposed bans and demanded safeguards in a growing push to curb illegal and offensive material.
The lawsuit claims xAI failed to install safeguards to prevent its systems from generating sexual content involving minors. All three plaintiffs were minors at the time the images were generated.
Plaintiffs allege their real images were digitally altered into explicit content and then shared online through platforms, causing emotional distress and creating a public nuisance.
They are seeking unspecified damages, legal fees, and an injunction requiring xAI to halt the alleged practices.
“These are children whose school photographs and family pictures were turned into child sexual abuse material,” plaintiffs’ counsel Annika Martin of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein said in a statement.
“Elon Musk and xAI deliberately designed Grok to produce sexually explicit content for financial gain, with no regard for the children and adults who would be harmed.”
Action movie icon Chuck Norris was hospitalised in Hawaii on Thursday, March 19, following a medical emergency.
The incident occurred days after celebrating his 86th birthday with an outdoor boxing session.
“The Missing in Action” actor was on the island of Kauai when the incident occurred. Although the nature of the medical emergency has not been disclosed yet, sources close to TMZ stated that Norris is in “good spirits” and was cracking jokes with friends shortly before being admitted.
The hospitalization was a surprise to fans, especially after watching Norris spar energetically in a video he posted on his Instagram account on March 10, celebrating his birthday. In the video, the martial artist was seen playfully throwing punches with his trainer under the sun in Hawaii.
In his birthday post, he wrote: “I don’t age. I level up. I’m 86 today! Nothing like some playful action on a sunny day to make you feel young. I’m grateful for another year, good health and the chance to keep doing what I love.”
“Thank you all for being the best fans in the world. Your support through the years has meant more to me than you’ll ever know,” he added.
Norris is married to Gena O’Kelley with whom he shares 24-year-old twins. From his previous relationships, he has five children.
A terrifying moment was recently caught on camera as an Israeli missile targeted a British journalist associated with Russia Today (RT) during live reporting in Lebanon.
Steven Sweeney, who works for the Russian state funded broadcaster, was filming destruction of a bridge and talking about missile attacks from Israel when one targeted him and hit just a few feet away.
Sweeney said yesterday that targeting journalists was a war crime and today he himself got injured in an attack. He was treated at a hospital for his injuries.
The video footage of the incident shows the exact moment when the missile hit near the journalist, both cameraman and the reporter sustained injuries.
RT posted a video of journalist Ali Rida, also injured in the attack, reporting from Southern Lebanon. Ali said that Israeli forces DELIBERATELY targeted them.
About three hours after the attack, the outlet shared a video message of Sweeney. He said: “It was a precision strike from an Israeli fighter jet. If they think that they are going to silence us, they are very, very much mistaken.”
Israel has intensified its unprovoked, illegal military strikes on Southern Lebanon and had repeatedly targeted civilian infrastructure.
Sweeney also accused Israel of attempting to ethnically cleanse southern Lebanon.
