Mother of Elon Musk's child sues his company over Grok deepfakes

Ashley St. Clair, the mother of one of Elon Musk's children, has filed a lawsuit against his company, xAI, after its artificial intelligence tool Grok allegedly generated sexualized deepfake images of her, including an altered photo from when she was 14 years old. St. Clair claims these images have caused her significant emotional distress and humiliation, and alleges that the company retaliated against her after she reported the issue, removing her premium status and verification on the social platform X. In response, xAI has countersued St. Clair, arguing that she violated the terms of service by not filing her lawsuit in Texas, where the company is based. The controversy has prompted X to announce new restrictions on Grok, preventing it from editing images of real people in revealing clothing where it is illegal, and limiting such features to paid users to increase accountability. The case highlights ongoing concerns about the misuse of artificial intelligence to create nonconsensual explicit content and the responsibilities of technology companies to protect users from harm.
