UK MP Jess Asato has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI in England’s High Court, alleging the misuse of her image through deepfake technology. The lawsuit, initiated on June 3, 2026, claims that the Grok chatbot generated harmful sexualized images and a video depicting her as a victim of sexual assault. Asato's legal action seeks damages and demands that xAI comply with UK data protection laws. The case highlights the growing concern over AI-generated content and its implications for personal privacy and consent. Asato's lawyers argue that the chatbot's design allowed for the creation of harmful content without adequate safeguards. This lawsuit follows Asato's previous public criticism of deepfake pornography, raising questions about the accountability of AI developers. The outcome could set a precedent for how AI companies are held responsible for the misuse of their technologies.
