Labour MP sues Elon Musk’s xAI company over fake sexualised images

Jess Asato was portrayed wearing a bikini in Grok-generated images after she criticised creation of such non-consensual pictures

A Labour MP has taken legal action against Elon Musk’s xAI company after saying its Grok tool helped a user produce fake sexualised pictures of her, part of a wave of such images that flooded the social media platform X earlier this year.

Jess Asato, the MP for Lowestoft, said in January that seeing herself portrayed by the AI tool as wearing a bikini without her consent was “violating”.
