The case highlights how Grok's lack of safeguards enabled mass CSAM generation, and SpaceXAI's alleged obstruction compounded the tragedy.
Reporting from 1 source: GIGAZINE.
A lawsuit against SpaceXAI alleges that a man used Grok to generate 7,000 sexual images of his stepdaughter from a single photo. The man was arrested after SpaceXAI reported a 'gang rape' prompt, but the company allegedly obstructed the investigation. He committed suicide after release on bail, leaving the victim in crisis.
The amended complaint in the class action lawsuit against SpaceXAI details a case where a stepfather used a single photo of his 11-year-old stepdaughter to create 7,000 sexually explicit images via Grok. The man was arrested after SpaceXAI reported a 'gang rape' prompt to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, but the company allegedly refused to share the user's IP address for weeks, obstructing the investigation. After release on bail, the man committed suicide. The stepdaughter now suffers from anxiety and depression. The lawsuit argues SpaceXAI failed to implement basic safeguards that other AI companies use.
