Ashley St. Clair Sues xAI Over Grok Deepfakes, Alleges Harassment via AI

American writer and influencer Ashley St. Clair filed a New York lawsuit against Elon Musk’s xAI, alleging its Grok chatbot generated sexually explicit deepfakes of her—some from when she was a minor—at users’ prompting and that her X account was demoted and later terminated after she complained; she seeks a temporary restraining order to stop nonconsensual intimate images, while xAI countersued, saying she agreed to its terms of service; the case arrives amid global backlash, platform restrictions on sexualized AI imagery, and regulatory scrutiny into Grok’s handling of nonconsensual material.
