The mother of an Arkansas teen is suing Elon Musk’s X Corporation and its artificial intelligence arm, xAI, developer of the Grok chatbot, after the technology was used to turn innocent photos of the boy into sexually explicit imagery that was widely shared, according to a federal complaint reviewed by The Independent.
Plaintiff “Jane Roe” filed the complaint August 13 on behalf of son “John Doe,” a 16-year-old who enjoys football, golf, fishing and “loves to ride his bike.” The complaint says he is part of his church’s youth group, and, like “many minors of that age, he is blissfully ignorant to the harsh realities of the world in which we live in.”
