Lawsuit Accuses Grok of Training on CSAM, Expanding Musk AI Controversy

A new class-action lawsuit alleges Elon Musk’s Grok AI was trained on child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including depictions of the plaintiff, Jane Doe. The filing claims CSAM was part of training data used by xAI to develop Grok, with hash-listed material from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and notifications from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, and argues that public posts on X feed into Grok’s training pipeline. The suit seeks class-action status, destruction of any Grok-generated CSAM, and measures to prevent further generation. It notes prior reporting on related CSAM datasets but does not confirm those datasets were used, and it frames the case as a landmark challenge to xAI’s training practices.
