Elon Musk’s xAI used child porn to train Grok models, lawsuit says
xAI accused of training Grok on real and AI-generated child pornography.
xAI, the artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk, faces allegations in a lawsuit that it used child pornography to train its Grok models. The lawsuit, filed by a plaintiff known as Jane Doe, alleges that she was a victim of child sex abuse in the early 2000s and that her images were used to create CSAM. According to the complaint, Doe's images have been identified by groups like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Canadian Centre for Child Protection as being used in AI-generated CSAM on online forums.
The complaint further alleges that messages were found on these forums "between offenders chatting about creating AI generated CSAM of Plaintiff and other similarly situated known, legacy, victims of CSAM." The lawsuit highlights the ongoing concerns surrounding the use of child abuse material in the training of artificial intelligence models.
