00:02Baltimore filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's XAI over its Grok Image Generator,
00:07marking the first major U.S. city to take legal action over the technology, according to CNBC.
00:13Mayor Brandon Scott said Grok-generated deepfakes have lifelong consequences
00:17and accused tech companies of enabling exploitative images.
00:21The complaint alleges XAI violated consumer protection laws by marketing Grok and X as safe
00:26while enabling non-consensual intimate imagery.
00:29The suit cites a put-her-in-a-bikini trend and a post by Musk as promotion of the tool's
00:34capabilities.
00:35Lawyers said Musk's post endorsed and promoted Grok's ability to create exploitative images of real people.
00:41Baltimore is seeking maximum statutory penalties and court-ordered changes
00:45to curb the creation of non-consenting intimate images and child exploitation abuse material.
