Class-action lawsuit against X.ai's Grok tool expands with new plaintiffs alleging CSAM creation

Feeds.Feedburner •SC Staff • July 9, 2026

Based on information from CyberScoop, a class-action lawsuit against X.ai's Grok tool has been expanded to include new plaintiffs, including minors, who allege the AI was used to create nonconsensual child sexual assault material (CSAM) based on their personal images.

The lawsuit, initially filed by three women, now includes two additional anonymous plaintiffs, Jane Does 4 and 5. Jane Doe 4, a minor, claims her stepfather used Grok to generate over 7,000 CSAM images from a photo of her at age 11, which were then shared online. The suit alleges Grok was chosen for its less restrictive nature.

The lawsuit also names Stability AI as a defendant, claiming its Stable Diffusion 1.0 model, trained on a dataset containing explicit material, was released without adequate safeguards, allowing for the creation of CSAM. Despite initial classifiers, downstream developers could bypass protections. The complaint states Stability AI later rolled back stronger guardrails in response to user complaints, fostering an ecosystem of modified apps. The plaintiffs report severe emotional distress, humiliation, and ongoing anxiety due to the dissemination of the illicit material.

Class Action Lawsuit Targets AI Firms Over Deepfake Child Sexual Abuse Material A class action lawsuit against SpaceXAI and Stability AI has expanded to include new plaintiffs alleging that AI-generated images were used to create child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The lawsuit, initially filed by three Tennessee teenagers, now includes two additional plaintiffs from Wyoming and Wisconsin. The plaintiffs accuse the companies of negligence, defective product design, and failing to report CSAM to authorities. They claim that SpaceXAI's Grok chatbot was used to generate thousands of explicit images from their childhood photos. The plaintiffs seek monetary compensation and demand the implementation of stronger safeguards against the creation of exploitative content. The lawsuit highlights the broader societal implications of AI misuse in generating harmful imagery. The companies face scrutiny for their alleged failure to adequately report incidents of CSAM to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). 6 sources 68
