In late 2025, Elon Musk\u2019s xAI added an image-editing feature to Grok that let users strip clothing from photos of real people. It was quickly used to sexualize both adults and children. Researchers estimated it produced millions of sexualized images \u2014 including tens of thousands depicting apparent children \u2014 in less than two weeks. Rather than shutting the feature down, xAI restricted it to paying subscribers. That decision is now central to multiple lawsuits, including one where a stepfather allegedly used the tool to generate roughly 7,000 sexual images and videos of his stepdaughter from a single childhood photo. Several countries opened investigations or temporarily restricted xAI\u2019s tools over this.<\/p>\n<p>Other major AI companies \u2014 including OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Anthropic \u2014 have faced general scrutiny over training-data practices and content-moderation gaps, but at the time of writing there isn\u2019t a documented, specific incident for each of them on the scale of the three above.
