A Wyoming woman has joined a federal lawsuit alleging that Elon Musk’s xAI’s artificial intelligence tool Grok was used to generate and distribute s*xualized images of minors and women.

The unnamed lady said she discovered thousands of AI-generated po*nographic images of her childhood self. She alleged that these obscene images were created and shared online by her stepfather. 

The woman, identified in legal filings only as Jane Doe 4, joined an ongoing federal complaint originally launched in March by three Tennessee teenagers. Two of these complainants are minors. They allege that their childhood photos were similarly distorted using Grok.

“On information and belief, the reason Jane Doe 4’s stepfather used Grok to generate the s*xually explicit images of Jane Doe 4 is because the program was less restrictive than other AI models and responded to his prompts to generate s*xually explicit material using an image depicting a prepubescent minor,” the suit said, according to the Daily Mail.

Under the federal statute known as Masha’s Law, which grants victims of child s*xual abuse material the right to sue perpetrators and platforms, the plaintiffs are seeking financial damages. The lawsuit also targets Elon Musk’s AI tool, alleging that it was used to produce non-consensual s*xually explicit content featuring underage individuals.

In the proposed class action lawsuit, Jane Doe 4 claimed that her stepfather picked a photograph of hers when she was only 11 years old. In the photo, she was wearing an oversized t-shirt and lying on the couch. He uploaded the image to Grok, which then used it to make at least 7,000 deepfakes of the child in compromising positions.

He also took the photographs and distributed them online. One photo, the lawsuit claims, was captioned to make it look like the stepdad was r*ping her.

According to court filings, xAI failed to include vital data, including IP addresses or the explicit images themselves, when reporting the abuse to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The company also ignored follow-up inquiries from law enforcement and misled its initial tip to an out-of-state task force. The action posed roadblocks in the investigation. 

Officers eventually raided the suspect’s home and took him into custody. However, he was released without charge due to the lack of evidence provided in xAI’s report. Just two days later, he was found dead by suicide inside his car near his stepdaughter’s home. 

Musk has evaded acknowledgement just weeks before the Wyoming woman fell victim, simply stating, “I am not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero. Obviously, Grok does not spontaneously generate images; it does so only according to user requests.” He claimed that the tool “will refuse to produce anything illegal, as the operating principle,” in a statement shared on X.

In response to public outrage, xAI restricted its image generator to subscribers who need to pay. They also updated its guardrails to block edits depicting real people in revealing clothing.

Simultaneously, Musk also filed a federal lawsuit against Minnesota over its law banning nonconsensual AI-generated nudes.
