Jess Asato, the Labour MP for Lowestoft, filed a claim at the High Court against xAI, the AI company owned by Elon Musk, over non-consensual AI-generated images of her, including one depicting her in a bikini. According to the Guardian, these images were created using the Grok chatbot without her consent. Asato is seeking damages and aims to establish legal liability for companies over the design of AI systems, according to Gdelt. Sir Keir Starmer said Asato was 'absolutely right' in taking legal action and described the images as 'disgusting,' according to Gdelt. A separate report by Gdelt stated that a Jewish woman was depicted by AI in a bikini in Auschwitz. No other details about the legal proceedings or xAI’s response are confirmed across multiple sources.
