UK MP Jess Asato Pursues xAI Over Grok Deepfake Abuse

UK member of parliament Jess Asato is suing xAI after she became a victim of the online abuse surrounding Grok’s deepfake controversy.

Asato has publicly campaigned for victims of online abuse. According to Wired, that work placed her in the crosshairs of the controversy and led to her being targeted herself. Her legal action against xAI now connects her personal experience to broader concerns about the company’s Grok chatbot and the deepfake-enabled abuse of its users.

The case highlights the tension between AI companies’ efforts to operate public chatbots and their responsibility to address abuse that emerges on those platforms. Details of the allegations and legal claims are not provided in the source excerpt.
