Labour MP Jess Asato files a claim in the High Court against Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI, alleging that the design of its Grok chatbot enabled creation of fake images of her. Multiple outlets report that Asato is seeking accountability for how Grok was configured or used to generate the images, including deepfake-style pictures. Sky News and The Independent say the images include a bikini depiction created using Grok. The outlets also report that Sir Keir Starmer backs Asato’s legal action, describing his support publicly. Details of the claim focus on Asato’s argument that responsibility lies with the product’s design choices that allowed the generation of misleading content. The reporting is consistent that the case is brought as a High Court claim and that it is connected to alleged misuse or capability of Grok to produce non-consensual, fabricated images of her. The outlets do not provide further information on the legal basis, remedies sought, or xAI’s response in the material provided.
