UK MP Jess Asato Sues xAI Over Grok-Generated Sexual Deepfakes

Labour MP Jess Asato has filed a High Court claim against Elon Musk's xAI, alleging the company failed to prevent its AI image generator Grok from producing sexually explicit deepfakes of her. The lawsuit, the first major test of liability for AI‑generated content in the UK, cites violations of privacy and data‑protection laws. Asato seeks damages and an order forcing xAI to comply with UK regulations, while the company faces parallel investigations in the EU, UK and California and other lawsuits tied to its AI tools.
