Three young girls from Tennessee and their guardians have filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI, accusing the company of designing its Grok AI to produce child sexual abuse material from real photos. The suit stems from a Discord tip that led to a police investigation linking Grok to explicit images of the victims. They seek an injunction and damages for thousands of potentially harmed minors.
