Elon Musk’s xAI used child porn to train Grok models, lawsuit says
Summary
Ars Technica reports that Elon Musk’s xAI is facing a lawsuit accusing Grok of being trained on CSAM, including real and AI-generated material. The complaint describes a plaintiff known as Jane Doe alleging her childhood images were used to create CSAM and hashed by organizations like NCMEC and CCCP. The suit claims Grok may store generated CSAM and use those outputs to further train the model, with potential federal violations and calls to halt CSAM generation and destroy related training data.
