Child sexual abuse survivor accuses xAI of using images of the assault to train AI

Público4 September 2026 at 13:48

A child sexual abuse survivor has filed a complaint against xAI, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, accusing it of using child sexual abuse images to train its Grok AI model. The complaint alleges that the content used in training the system included child sexual abuse material.

The accusation claims that from training on these images, Grok generated new child sexual abuse material. The lawsuit seeks to hold xAI accountable for including this type of content in the development process of its technology.

This case arises at a time when technology companies face growing scrutiny over how they obtain data to train their artificial intelligence models. xAI, founded by Musk, developed Grok as a competitor to other AI assistants available on the market.

The complaint represents a significant challenge for xAI, raising questions about the company's data collection practices and the security measures implemented to prevent child abuse material from being used in training its AI systems.
