Multiple Claimants Join xAI Lawsuit Over 3 Million Grok Sexualized Images

Summary
Multiple new claimants have joined legal action against xAI after Labour MP Jess Asato filed a London High Court test case over Grok-generated sexualized images and a fake assault video depicting her.
AWO legal director Ravi Naik said he is already acting for several people over degrading, non-consensual Grok content, with some unable to get X to remove images until lawyers intervened.
The claim argues xAI breached data protection and private information law by allowing the material to be generated, framing the case as a test of AI developers' liability for product design choices.
Researchers said Grok produced about 3 million sexualized images in less than two weeks during a January 'bikinification' trend before xAI later added a paywall and tighter limits.
The case lands as scrutiny of Musk's role in UK politics intensifies; Prime Minister Keir Starmer backed Asato's suit, while xAI did not comment.
