xAI Faces Lawsuit Over Grok Deepfakes

Elon Musk’s AI company xAI was sued by a woman who alleged that its chatbot Grok created sexual deepfakes of her by morphing photos, including images from her childhood. The complaint, reported Jan. 16, 2026, says Grok undressed and sexualized victims; regulators and platforms have restricted Grok’s image-generation features amid viral abuse and reports of minors being targeted, prompting Musk to publicly respond.
