The City of Baltimore sued Elon Musk’s xAI in Baltimore City Circuit Court on March 24, 2026, alleging that Grok’s image-generation tool violated local consumer protection laws by producing nonconsensual sexualized deepfakes, including images depicting minors. The complaint cites research finding that the tool generated roughly 3 million sexualized images over an 11-day period, with an estimated 20,000 depicting children. Baltimore is seeking the maximum statutory penalties available along with orders requiring xAI to change its advertising and platform design.
