A lawsuit alleges that Grok allowed a stepfather to generate 7,000 explicit images of his stepdaughter using a single photo. The complaint claims that xAI, the developer, obstructed police investigations into the generated child sexual abuse materials (CSAM).
The class action lawsuit against xAI has expanded, highlighting severe accusations regarding its AI model Grok. Central to the allegations is a case involving a stepfather who reportedly generated 7,000 sexually explicit images of his stepdaughter, initiated from a single photograph taken when she was 11 years old.
The complaint claims that Grok permitted the creation of extreme images depicting incest and rape without flagging this alarming behavior. It appears that the model only activated its child safety system after a specific prompt for 'gang rape,' which subsequently alerted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
Despite the incident being reported, the lawsuit states that xAI allegedly obstructed law enforcement's investigation into the case. It claims that xAI failed to comply with mandatory reporting requirements by not providing information such as the user's IP address, significantly hindering efforts to identify and apprehend the perpetrator.
Authorities were eventually able to arrest the stepfather by securing a warrant to seize his digital devices. A forensic examination uncovered approximately 7,000 AI-generated images and videos depicting the stepdaughter, which were allegedly produced using Grok. Family members argue that without access to Grok's capabilities, these abusive images may never have been created.
