Elon Musks SpacexAI faces another lawsuit from child sexual abuse survivor

Elon Musk's company, SpacexAI, is facing a new lawsuit over concerns related to its AI chatbot, Grok, and its alleged use of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) in its training data. The proposed nationwide class action lawsuit claims that SpacexAI failed to properly filter explicit content and prevent nonconsensual sexualized deepfakes of real people, including minors, from being generated by the chatbot.

The lead plaintiff, a survivor of childhood sexual violence, alleges that images depicting her assault were used to train Grok, resulting in the generation of new sexually explicit images of her and other minors. The lawsuit also accuses SpacexAI of not effectively reporting instances of CSAM to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), as required by law.

This is one of several class action lawsuits brought against SpacexAI due to the chatbot's controversial "nudify" features and its alleged role in generating CSAM.
