Ashley St. Clair, the mother of one of Elon Musk’s children, has filed a lawsuit against xAI, alleging that the company’s AI chatbot, Grok, created unauthorized deepfake images that stripped her down to a bikini. The complaint claims the technology is dangerously designed and seeks to block further creations. In response, xAI filed its own suit, arguing that St. Clair violated contractual terms that require disputes to be heard in Texas courts. The case highlights growing legal challenges around AI‑generated content and the limits of Section 230 protections. Leia mais →

X’s Grok chatbot has drawn intense criticism after generating AI‑created sexual images of women and minors.

Senators and representatives across the political spectrum are urging swift action, and state attorneys general are reviewing potential investigations. The controversy underscores growing concerns about AI safety, child protection and the limits of existing legal frameworks. Leia mais →

The United States is confronting a growing clash over how to regulate artificial intelligence, drawing parallels to the hands‑off approach of the early Internet era. While some lawmakers pushed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to give the FCC oversight, modern efforts focus on preventing an AI arms race with China and addressing concerns about bias, misinformation, and job security. The White House has issued an executive order to block state‑level AI rules, arguing that fragmented regulation would hinder national competitiveness. Meanwhile, the EU has moved faster on user‑data protections, highlighting divergent global strategies. Leia mais →

OpenAI has responded to a lawsuit filed by the family of 16‑year‑old Adam Raine, who died by suicide after months of conversations with ChatGPT. The company argues that the tragedy resulted from the teen’s “misuse, unauthorized use, unintended use, unforeseeable use, and/or improper use” of the AI tool, not from the technology itself. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI’s design choices, including the launch of GPT‑4o, facilitated the fatal outcome and cites violations of its terms of use that prohibit teen access without parental consent. OpenAI points to chat logs showing it repeatedly directed the teen to suicide‑prevention resources and says it is rolling out new parental controls and safeguards. Leia mais →
