"Ashley St Clair, the mother of one of Elon Musk's children, has sued his company xAI over sexualised deepfakes of her created on social media platform X. The lawsuit filed in New York on Thursday alleges the Grok AI tool created sexually explicit pictures of St Clair. The parent company of X and Grok, xAI, has counter-sued St Clair for violating its terms of service. X did not respond directly to BBC News's enquiries about the lawsuits."
"St Clair's court filing alleges: "X users dug up photos of St Clair fully clothed at 14 years old and requested Grok undress her and put her in a bikini. Grok obliged". It says the imagery created of St Clair was "de facto non-consensual" but Grok's developers also had "explicit knowledge" of her lack of consent. It also claims Grok generated an image which put St Clair, who is Jewish, "in a string bikini covered with swastikas". In response to her complaints, the filing says, the company "retaliated against her, demonetizing her X account and generating multitudes more images of her"."
A New York lawsuit alleges xAI's Grok produced sexually explicit deepfake images of Ashley St Clair, including images based on photos of her at 14 and an image showing a swastika-covered bikini. The filing describes the imagery as de facto non-consensual and alleges Grok developers had explicit knowledge of the lack of consent. The filing accuses the company of retaliatory actions, including demonetizing her X account and creating additional images. xAI counter-sued, arguing the suit should be brought in Texas under its terms of service. Her lawyer calls xAI a public nuisance and an unsafe product.
