Labour MP Jess Asato has initiated legal proceedings against Elon Musk's xAI, claiming that its Grok tool was used to generate fake sexualized images of her without consent. Asato stated that seeing herself depicted in a bikini was a violation of her rights. In her claim to the High Court in London, she alleges that xAI breached data protection laws by allowing users to create such images. Asato's case follows a similar lawsuit in New York by Ashley St Clair, who also reported non-consensual images generated by Grok. Asato hopes her case will establish accountability for tech companies regarding the content produced by their tools. Her lawyer, Ravi Naik, emphasized that developers must be responsible for how their tools are designed and used. The UK government has previously threatened action against X due to the misuse of Grok, which generated numerous sexualized images, including of minors. Following public outcry, X announced changes to restrict the generation of such content.
