xAI faces multiple class-action lawsuits alleging that Grok was used to generate nonconsensual sexual images of minors, AIBase reported in an article published by KuCoin. Plaintiffs in Wisconsin, Tennessee, Wyoming and California allege that ordinary photographs were transformed into abusive images. The litigation raises whether Section 230 protections for platforms hosting user content extend to generative AI services. Plaintiffs seek compensation and remedies under Masha's Law. Musk has argued that users bear responsibility for their instructions; plaintiffs' attorneys argue that Grok's transformation of the photographs enabled the harm.
