Ashley St. Clair, the mother of Elon Musk's son Romulus, has filed a lawsuit against Musk's AI company xAI in New York Supreme Court, alleging that xAI's Grok AI tool was used to generate non-consensual sexual deepfake images of her. Key allegations: - Deepfake image generation: xAI's Grok AI tool was allegedly used to generate numerous nude, sexually explicit, and otherwise reputation-damaging images of her — including images depicting her as a minor in explicit contexts. - Failure to act and retaliation: After requesting that the company take action, she alleges xAI failed to respond and instead retaliated by demonetizing her X (Twitter) account and continuing to generate and spread the images. - Damages: She is seeking compensatory and punitive damages for emotional distress and reputational harm caused by the incident. Background: Ashley St. Clair is a right-leaning influencer who had a relationship with Elon Musk and gave birth to their son Romulus in September 2024. There are also separate ongoing legal proceedings between her and Musk regarding custody of their child. Ref: theguardian
