LONDON: A British lawmaker has filed a case at London´s High Court against Elon Musk´s xAI after its Grok chatbot tool was used to create fake sexualised images of her, including in a bikini.
Jess Asato, of the ruling Labour Party, said she lodged the “High Court claim against xAI, the company behind Grok” on Wednesday.
Grok sparked a global outcry earlier this year for allowing users to create and share sexualised pictures of women.
Researchers said it had generated an estimated three million sexualised images in a matter of days.
Asato said she was “just one of the thousands of women and even children who have been the victim of abusive and sexualised AI deepfakes”.
“This should never have happened -- and xAI must be held accountable,” she posted Wednesday on X, the social media platform also owned by Musk´s SpaceX.
An online boom in non-consensual deepfakes is outpacing global efforts to regulate the technology amid a proliferation of AI tools, including “nudification” apps, according to experts.
Asato said on X on Thursday that Grok users had made images of her in a bikini and also created an AI generated video of her being sexually assaulted.
