xAI 起诉南卡罗来纳州男子 Terry Wayne Harwood,指控其"明知且故意"使用 Grok AI 聊天机器人绕过安全措施、生成并传播儿童性虐待材料(CSAM),违反公司政策。
Harwood 已于今年 2 月因涉嫌持有和传播 CSAM 被捕,面临八项重罪指控。 xAI 在诉讼中称,与 Harwood 刑事指控相关的"至少部分"图像系使用 Grok 生成或篡改。
埃隆·马斯克拥有的 xAI 正在起诉一名南卡罗来纳州男子,他涉嫌使用该公司的 Grok AI 聊天机器人生成儿童性虐待材料(CSAM)。在一份诉讼中:https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/28483528-spacexai-v-harwood/,路透社此前报道:https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/musks-xai-sues-grok-user-over-sexualized-deepfakes-2026-07-15/,xAI 声称特里·韦恩·哈伍德(Terry Wayne Harwood)“明知故犯地使用 Grok 绕过安全措施,修改未经同意的图像,并生成和传播 CSAM”,违反了公司的政策。
哈伍德于二月被捕:https://www.scag.gov/about-the-office/news/four-upstate-men-arrested-on-child-sexual-abuse-material-charges/,原因是涉嫌拥有和传播 CSAM,目前面临八项重罪指控。诉讼称,与哈伍德刑事指控相关的“至少部分”图片“是用 Grok 生成或修改的”,并且哈伍德绕过了 Grok 的安全措施,“滥用该工具将非性照片转换为未经主题同意的色情图像”。
在去年推出 Grok 的“辣味”模式后:/report/718975/xai-grok-imagine-taylor-swifty-deepfake-nudes,xAI 增加了使用聊天机器人编辑图像的功能,导致大量性化 AI 深度伪造图像出现,包括未成年人的图像:/ai-artificial-intelligence/855832/grok-undressing-children-csam-law-x-elon-musk。一群青少年在三月起诉 xAI:/ai-artificial-intelligence/895639/xai-grok-teens-lawsuit-grok-ai-elon-musk,称 Grok 生成了他们作为未成年人的性化图像。马斯克回应称:https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2007475612949102943?s=20,“任何使用 Grok 制作非法内容的人,将承担与上传非法内容相同的后果”,尽管这似乎是 xAI 首次因使用 Grok 生成的 AI 深度伪造图像而起诉任何人。
xAI 称哈伍德的涉嫌行为使公司面临“重大法律风险和声誉损害”。它已要求法院命令哈伍德赔偿 xAI 的任何损失,以及“为应对受害者因被告行为提起的任何法律诉讼而产生的合理开支”。xAI 还希望法官禁止哈伍德创建 xAI 账户或使用 Grok。
The Elon Musk-owned xAI is suing a South Carolina man who allegedly used the company’s Grok AI chatbot to generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM). In a lawsuit:https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/28483528-spacexai-v-harwood/ reported earlier by Reuters :https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/musks-xai-sues-grok-user-over-sexualized-deepfakes-2026-07-15/, xAI claims Terry Wayne Harwood “knowingly and intentionally used Grok to circumvent safeguards, alter nonconsensual images, and generate and distribute CSAM,” breaching the company’s policies.
Harwood was arrested:https://www.scag.gov/about-the-office/news/four-upstate-men-arrested-on-child-sexual-abuse-material-charges/ in February for allegedly possessing and distributing CSAM and is facing eight felony charges. The lawsuit claims “at least some” of the images related to Harwood’s criminal charges “were generated or altered” with Grok, and that Harwood bypassed Grok’s safeguards and “abused the tool to convert non-sexual photographs into sexually explicit images” without the subjects’ consent.
After rolling out a “spicy” mode:/report/718975/xai-grok-imagine-taylor-swifty-deepfake-nudes for Grok last year, xAI added the ability to edit images with the chatbot, leading to a flood of sexualized AI deepfakes, including ones with minors:/ai-artificial-intelligence/855832/grok-undressing-children-csam-law-x-elon-musk. A group of teens sued xAI in March:/ai-artificial-intelligence/895639/xai-grok-teens-lawsuit-grok-ai-elon-musk over claims Grok generated sexualized images of themselves as minors. Musk responded by saying:https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2007475612949102943?s=20, “Anyone using Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content,” though this appears to be the first time xAI has sued anyone over AI deepfakes created with Grok.
xAI claims Harwood’s alleged actions exposed the company to “significant legal risk and reputational damage.” It has asked the court to order Harwood to pay xAI for any damages, as well as “reasonable expenses incurred defending itself in any legal action filed by a victim of Defendant’s conduct.” xAI also wants the judge to block Harwood from creating an xAI account or using Grok.
