Elon Musk finally launches X Money. What could possibly go wrong?
Expect bumps with X Money rollout as major US financial markets are excluded.
Elon Musk's xAI is attempting to use legal action to avoid a potential reckoning regarding its Grok tool. The issue arose when arrests were made for users accused of creating child sex abuse materials (CSAM) with xAI's Grok. This has led to lawsuits from victims seeking to hold xAI accountable and force changes to the tool to prevent harmful outputs.
Earlier this month, xAI initiated a series of lawsuits against users who allegedly circumvent its safeguards to generate AI CSAM, hoping for an early court victory to prove it's not responsible for user-generated content. Recently, xAI cited this lawsuit in a complaint filed on Monday, arguing that Minnesota's attempt to force alterations to Grok and Grok Imagine, which would ban nudification technology, would hold xAI liable for harmful outputs.
Furthermore, xAI contends that if Grok is held responsible for harmful outputs that weren't created with their consent, it would be unjust. By proving that xAI is actively punishing bad actors, xAI asserts it should be granted safe harbor from Minnesota's ban.
