Jess Asato alleges that users of xAI’s Grok created fake sexualised images of her without her consent in January, including pictures depicting her in a bikini and a video “showing her being chloroformed and prepared for a sexual assault”.
X users then further discussed the abusive material online and shared additional AI-manipulated imagery, according to Asato.
Asato told the FT that she had been targeted after speaking out publicly against the creation of non-consensual imagery. “My hope is that this will rebalance individuals’ rights against very large tech companies that should have put safeguards in place before they harmed women and children,” she said, calling for better “safety by design”.
