Event Summary

British Labour Party MP Jess Asato is suing Elon Musk's xAI over fake sexualized images of her created by the Grok AI chatbot. She seeks a court order requiring xAI to implement technical measures to prevent Grok from generating non-consensual sexualized images of her. The lawsuit, filed at London's High Court, alleges misuse of private information and breach of data protection laws. Asato's lawyers argue that Grok's internal prompts allowed adult sexual content with no restrictions. xAI has not responded. The case adds to global scrutiny of Grok, including a lawsuit by the City of The Baltimore Banner and regulatory probes in several countries.
