Elon Musk’s xAI has filed a court motion seeking to strip anonymity from individuals who sued the company over alleged non-consensual deepfake images generated by its Grok AI. The lawsuit centers on claims that the platform failed to prevent the creation of sexually explicit synthetic media, according to reporting by WIRED. The company argues that identifying the plaintiffs is essential for its defense strategy. Whether the court will prioritize privacy protections for victims of digital harassment or the transparency requirements of civil litigation remains an open question.
