The mother of Elon Musk’s child, Grimes, has filed a lawsuit against xAI, an artificial intelligence company, over the creation of deepfake videos using xAI’s Grok technology. The incident took place in Los Angeles, California, and the lawsuit was filed on Monday, June 15th. Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, is seeking damages and a permanent injunction to prevent xAI from using her image in any deepfake or AI-generated content.
According to Grimes’ legal representatives, the deepfake videos created by xAI using the Grok technology have caused emotional distress and potential reputational harm to their client. They argue that the videos not only misrepresent Grimes’ likeness but also depict her engaging in activities she has never been involved in. Grimes’ team is determined to hold xAI accountable for the unauthorized and harmful use of her image.
On the other hand, xAI has denied the allegations, stating that their technology is intended for entertainment and artistic purposes only. They maintain that the deepfake videos featuring Grimes were created within the bounds of the law and do not constitute any form of defamation or harm. xAI’s representatives have expressed their willingness to cooperate with the legal process to resolve the matter amicably.
The lawsuit between Grimes and xAI raises important questions about the ethical implications of deepfake technology and the rights of individuals to control the use of their likeness in the digital realm. As the case unfolds, it is likely to spark further discussions about the boundaries of artificial intelligence and the need for regulation to protect individuals from potential misuse of deepfake technology.
