Doe v XAI Grok CSAM Class Action

March 16, 2026 — Three minor plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit against X.AI Corp. and X.AI LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Case No. 5:26-cv-02246), alleging that xAI's Grok AI model generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) deepfakes using real photographs of minors.

The 44-page complaint alleges that Grok's "Spicy Mode" allowed users to generate photorealistic nude and sexually explicit images of real minors by uploading their photographs, and that xAI profited from this capability.
