7,000 images from one childhood photo enter the Grok case
A woman named Jane Doe 4 in the filing says her stepfather used Grok to make more than 7,000 explicit images of her as a child and traded them online. One was built from a photograph taken when she was 11. She joins, as a fourth plaintiff, the class action 3 Tennessee teenagers brought against xAI. The Washington Post reported the account first. According to the filing, state and local law enforcement searched the stepfather's electronic devices for child sexual abuse material; two days later he was found dead in his car, in what was reported as a suicide. The class action argues the case could cover at least thousands of minors. Engadget says it asked xAI for comment and had not received a reply. California attorney general Rob Bonta opened an investigation into xAI in January over nonconsensual deepfake nudes of women and children, and later that month the European Union opened its own probe into whether X had enough measures to stop the spread of AI-generated abuse material.[1]
