Baltimore is pushing back against AI's worst excesses. What happens next could reshape American tech
"The lawsuit argues that both the xAI platform and Grok have already been used to generate 3 million sexualized images between December 29, 2025, and January 8, 2026; 23,000 of those images appeared to have depicted children, according to researchers at the Center for Countering Digital Hate."
"Baltimore residents have a reasonable expectation that they will not be exposed to this illegal content on X, and that X will not harass its own customers with Grok-generated deepfakes."
Baltimore is confronting the challenges posed by artificial intelligence, particularly in light of a recent lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI. The city claims that xAI's chatbot Grok has generated millions of sexualized images, including those of children. This situation reflects broader concerns about AI's impact on local politics and community safety, especially given the absence of federal regulations. Residents expect protection from illegal content and harassment related to AI-generated materials on social platforms.
