Recently, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI has faced a new legal accusation. A woman known as "Jane Doe No. 4" has formally joined a lawsuit initiated by teenagers in Tennessee, accusing the company's AI chatbot Grok of facilitating the creation of child sexual abuse material.

According to The Washington Post, the woman revealed that her stepfather used Grok to maliciously alter her childhood photos when she was 11 years old, generating over 7,000 explicit images of her. Two days after law enforcement conducted a raid and discovered these illegal images, her stepfather was found dead by suicide. The woman expressed deep sorrow, stating that the unrestricted access to AI tools is rapidly spreading, gradually pushing people's daily lives into a breeding ground for child sexual abuse.

Previously, the teenagers who initiated the lawsuit had accused xAI of failing to implement basic security measures, allowing Grok to be easily used to generate explicit images featuring real people, including minors. Reports show that earlier this year, millions of inappropriate contents generated by this tool emerged on the social media platform X. Currently, the plaintiffs are actively pushing to elevate this case to a class-action lawsuit.
