What You Need to Know About Non-Consensual AI Images Created on X

In late 2025, the Grok app—an AI chatbot integrated with the social media platform X—rolled out a new feature that allows users to edit photos to make them more explicit. In just 11 days after the feature launched, more than three million AI images featuring sexualized imagery were created, many without the consent of the people in the pictures.

Learn more about the spread of nonconsensual images online and your legal options if you have been a victim of AI abuse.

Can I sue Grok or xAI for creating a deepfake image of me?

Yes. If Grok’s AI tools were used to create an “undressed,” explicit, or sexual image of you without your consent, you may have a civil claim against xAI, the developers of Grok, and the social media site X (formerly Twitter).

Victims of AI-generated sexual images can pursue compensation for emotional distress, reputational harm, and ongoing image distribution.

What should I do if someone posted a sexual deepfake image of me online?

If someone prompted Grok to create sexualized imagery of you, it’s important to record as much information about the event as you can. It may be helpful to take the following steps:

• Take screenshots of the post and the account that shared it
• Copy the link or URL of the image
• Document dates and usernames
• Contact a law firm experienced in deepfake and privacy litigation

You do not need to confront the person who posted the image or even know who generated it. Our team can help investigate the situation and advise you on the best legal options.

Can I still take action even if I don’t know who created the deepfake?

Yes. Our legal claims focus on the tools and organizations who enabled the creation and spread of these images: Grok, xAI, and X (formerly Twitter). You do not need to know which individual user generated or edited the photo in order to pursue a lawsuit.

How do I join the Grok deepfake lawsuit?

Completing a free and confidential case evaluation with a trusted law firm is the first step in joining the lawsuit on Grok’s generation of nonconsensual explicit images. Our Survivor Advocacy team can review your situation and determine whether you may be able to join current litigation.

What evidence do I need for a Grok deepfake claim?

Helpful evidence may include:

• Screenshots of the image or post
• Links to content edited or shared
• Any messages or notifications you received about the image
• Any proof the image was created using Grok

Our team will investigate the use of the Grok image generator and help you determine what information may be useful in pursuing a legal case.

Can minors or their parents file a claim if a child was targeted?

Yes. Evidence is mounting that Grok generated thousands of explicit AI images of minors. These edited photos may qualify as child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and stand in violation of state, federal, and international law. Parents and legal guardians can file claims on behalf of minors if they have been the victim of inappropriate image editing.

How much compensation can victims of sexualized images created by AI receive?

While every case is different, survivors of intimate image abuse may pursue compensation for:

• Emotional distress and trauma
• Harm to their reputation
• Loss of income or damage to their career
• Costs related to removing or monitoring harmful content

In some cases, plaintiffs may also be able to pursue punitive damages, or additional compensation designed to punish the parties that enabled the abuse. Our team can help you assess your case and evaluate what compensation may be available.

Can I ask X (Twitter) to remove the deepfake image?

Yes, you can ask X to remove the edited image. However, the platform has been inconsistent in removing non-consensual content, even when victims report it. Our legal team can provide guidance and support on requesting removal and documenting attempts for your case.

Is Grok’s generation of nonconsensual sexualized images illegal?

AI-generated images are relatively new, so legal scholars are still establishing what protections are available. However, many states prohibit the distribution of non-consensual sexual deepfakes. Regulators in the European Union (EU) as well as the UK government and several other countries have opened investigations into whether Grok, X, and xAI violated digital safety laws by enabling explicit image generation without safeguards.

Did Grok AI allow people to “undress” others in photographs?

Yes. Grok introduced a feature in late 2025 that allowed users to edit images of real people posted on the platform. These edits included removing clothing, placing individuals in sexual situations and positions, and other explicit edits. Unlike other AI platforms, xAI failed to implement industry-standard safeguards to prevent people’s photos being edited without their consent, despite warnings from child safety organizations.

Who is responsible—Grok, xAI, or X?

All three entities may be held responsible for the generation of non-consensual AI images:

• Grok, through its feature Grok Imagine, created the explicit images.
• xAI developed the model and rolled out the feature with inadequate safety controls.
• X (formerly Twitter) enabled distribution of these images and, in some cases, refused to take images down when reported.

Our lawsuit aims to hold these entities responsible for their actions in enabling harm to millions of women and children across the U.S. and around the world.

How widespread is the Grok deepfake problem?

Grok’s deepfake problem is extremely widespread. According to the Center for Countering Digital Hate, Grok generated three million sexualized images in 11 days after rolling out the “undressing” feature—including 23,000 explicit images of children.
