PHILDELPHIA, Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Berger Montague, a leading national plaintiffs’ law firm, is investigating claims that xAI’s chatbot Grok is being used for the large-scale unauthorized creation of lewd and sexually abusive images of women and underage girls, which are published on Grok’s official account on the social media website X, formerly Twitter.
“These reports of exploitation are disturbing,” said Shareholder E. Michelle Drake. “Sexual humiliation by a chatbot shouldn’t be the price for a woman existing online. The idea that underage girls may be subject to this disgusting abuse of technology is unconscionable.”
According to ABC News, Elon Musk’s companies xAI and X face global backlash over Grok’s production of sexually explicit deepfake depictions of real women and children without their consent. On Tuesday Britian’s top technology official demanded X take urgent action. The European Union, France, India, Malaysia and Brazil have also condemned the platform. NBC News has also reported the phenomenon.
