A lawsuit filed Wednesday alleges that xAI trained Grok on child sexual abuse material, including images associated with a plaintiff identified as Jane Doe. The complaint says a child-protection group identified AI-generated material on xAI depicting the plaintiff and alleges that Grok stored generated images and used outputs for further training. The source reports that regulators and courts are continuing to examine the extent of the problem and that some Grok users have been arrested.
