## Lawsuit against xAI over obscene deepfakes Ashley St Clair, a well-known influencer and mother of one of Elon Musk's children, has sued xAI, the artificial intelligence company founded by the billionaire. The accusation is that it created and disseminated sexually explicit deepfakes of her, through the Grok chatbot, without her consent. In the lawsuit, filed in a New York state court, St Clair claims that Grok initially generated an altered image of her in a bikini. Despite an explicit request to stop producing such images, "countless sexually abusive, intimate, and degrading deepfake content of St. Clair [were] produced and distributed publicly by Grok." The case raises important ethical and legal questions about the use of artificial intelligence in creating potentially harmful content and the need to regulate such technologies to protect individual rights.
