Teens sue xAI over Grok-generated CSAM imagery

Three Tennessee teens filed a proposed class action against Elon Musk’s xAI, alleging Grok’s AI-generated CSAM—explicit images of the plaintiffs and other minors—were created and distributed on Discord. The suit says xAI knew Grok could produce such material after its “spicy mode” launch and failed to adequately test safety, seeking damages and an injunction to stop Grok from generating or spreading AI-based CSAM. The case follows heightened regulatory scrutiny of Grok from the FTC, EU, and UK, with advocates pressing for accountability for the harm caused.
