AG Jennings, colleagues demand action from xAI over Grok's Creation of Nonconsensual Sexual Content

Attorney General Kathy Jennings and a bipartisan group of 35 attorneys general sent a joint letter today to xAI demanding action to stop its Grok chatbot from generating nonconsensual intimate images and child sexual abuse material. The letter states that Grok has generated such content after users prompted it to undress women and children without consent. It notes that xAI marketed this permissive generation as a selling point and that the ability to create nonconsensual images appears to be a feature not a bug. The attorneys general say xAI has taken limited measures that reduced the volume of this content. They demand assurances that safeguards are effective durable and consistently enforced. They also urge the company to honor requests to remove the content which will be required under the Take It Down Act when it becomes enforceable in May 2026. The letter raises serious concerns that Grok's outputs may violate state and federal civil and criminal laws. It demands that xAI share plans to ensure Grok can no longer produce the prohibited content eliminate already produced content take action against users and grant X users control over edits by Grok. AG Jennings noted that the Delaware Department of Justice is both a civil and criminal enforcement agency with broad jurisdiction. She said her office can and regularly does use its full authority to protect Delaware's children and will continue to evaluate xAI's conduct including the availability of civil and criminal remedies for Delawareans. Attorney General Jennings signed the letter alongside the attorneys general of 35 other jurisdictions.
