When a mother from eastern Tennessee asked local police how someone had created naked photos of her teenage daughter, she recalls being told it was a company shed never heard of: xAI, the artificial intelligence start-up run by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Police alleged a person arrested in December had used Grok, xAIs chatbot, to edit photos, including one from the teen girls Instagram account, removing a blue bikini from one image to depict her without any clothes, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.
The teen is suing xAI as part of a group of Tennessee teenagers who allege the companys AI tools were used to create nude images of them by editing photos in which they were clothed. The edited photos spread across Discord and Telegram in recent months, and some were bartered for other child sexual abuse material in online chatrooms, according to the complaint, which was first reported by The Washington Post.
The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of California on Monday, alleges a single perpetrator compiled images and videos of more than 18 girls, many of whom attended the same school, and digitally altered some of them using AI. It is the first action brought by alleged minor victims of child sexual abuse material stemming from an undressing scandal that has plagued xAI in recent months.

Makes me sort of think that the headline writer automatically thinks "minors = naked girls."
Ew.
