Elon Musk’s xAI used child porn to train Grok models, lawsuit says

A lawsuit alleges that an AI company trained its image-generating model on child sexual abuse material, including both real images of abuse and AI-generated versions created from those images. The case matters because it raises questions about how AI systems are built and whether companies are adequately filtering illegal content from their training data. The plaintiff is a childhood abuse survivor whose images were hashed and tracked by child protection organizations, and she discovered that AI-generated abuse images depicting her were created by the company's system, which then allegedly used those generated images to further train its models.
