Primakov/Shutterstock UK Labour MP Jess Asato is suing x AI over sexually explicit AI-generated images that were created of her by Grok, The Financial Times reports. The lawsuit is the first high-profile test of whether AI companies can be held responsible for content people produce with their tools in the UK.
Grok users started producing and sharing images of Asato in January, right around when it was first reported that the AI assistant had been used to create CSAM. Asato alleges users prompted Grok to produce images of her in a bikini, along with an explicit video "showing her being chloroformed and prepared for a sexual assault," FT writes. Users later reshared, discussed and produced more AI images on X, the social platform owned by xAI.
