"Labour MP suing Elon Musk’s xAI says chatbot added own fake abusive content", 28 July 2026

A Labour MP who is taking legal action against Elon Musk’s xAI company over fake sexualised images created by Grok says the AI tool was instructed to operate with “no restrictions on adult sexual content or offensive content”....

Asato is suing xAI after she said its chatbot was used to create fake images of her, including in a bikini, and a video showing her as the victim of a sexual assault, causing her to feel “distressed and violated”.

xAI has since said users would no longer be able to use the tool to generate sexualised images of real people, and it has now become illegal to create or request a non-consensual deepfake image of an adult in the UK. xAI has been approached for comment.
