- Ashley St Clair, mother of one of Elon Musk's children, sues xAI over sexualized deepfakes created by Grok AI.
- The lawsuit alleges Grok produced non-consensual explicit images of St Clair, including one with swastikas on a bikini.
- xAI countersued St Clair for filing the lawsuit in New York instead of Texas, as per their terms of service.
- St Clair's lawyer claims xAI retaliated by demonetizing her X account and generating more explicit images.
- X faced backlash for allowing Grok to create non-consensual sexualized imagery, including of children.
- X updated its rules to restrict photo-editing features to paid users and implement geoblocking for illegal content.
- The UK government is introducing laws to criminalize non-consensual intimate images, with Ofcom investigating X's compliance.
