Baltimore Sues xAI Over Grok Deepfake Sexual-Image Tool

Baltimore filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s xAI, alleging Grok generates nonconsensual sexual deepfakes on X and violates consumer-protection and deceptive-practices laws. The city says Grok’s features like“spicy mode” enable sexualized edits of real people (including minors), that Musk promoted Grok’s editing capabilities, and it seeks penalties plus court-ordered platform reforms. The action follows other related lawsuits and inquiries about Grok’s behavior.
