Former sexual abuse victims say Grok used their images, videos to train deepfake capabilities
Brief
A class action lawsuit filed by victims of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) accuses xAI of training Grok’s synthetic deepfake “nudify” capabilities on real images and videos of child abuse.
The lawsuit , filed Wednesday in the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of California, names Jane Doe 1 and other anonymous individuals as plaintiffs, calling Doe “an identified victim of child pornography tracked by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Child Exploitation Notification Program.”
Doe was a pre-school aged child when her perpetrator’s abuse began and continued for years, for the explicit purpose of making CSAM material to distribute online.
