Labour MP Jess Asato filed a legal claim against Elon Musk's xAI company alleging its Grok tool was used to generate non-consensual sexualised images of her, including images of her in a bikini and a video depicting assault. The case follows similar action by Ashley St Clair and comes after the UK government threatened action against X in January when Grok produced large quantities of such imagery. X initially restricted the feature to paying users before disabling Grok's ability to edit real people's images entirely.
