35 State Attorneys General sent letter to xAI regarding nonconsensual intimate images produced by Grok

On 23 January 2026, 35 state attorneys general, including the Attorney General of New York, sent a letter to xAI regarding the production of artificial intelligence-produced nonconsensual intimate images (NCII) by the Grok chatbot. The declaration highlights concerns regarding the creation of NII by users of X platforms, acknowledges xAI's steps to prevent such production, and requests that xAI inform them of their plans to take further steps. Specifically, the attorneys general requested information on how xAI intends to ensure that Grok no longer has the capacity to produce NCII and child sexual abuse material, eliminate existing content, suspend users creating such content, and report such users to authorities where applicable. Further, the attorneys general request information on how xAI intends to grant users control over whether their content can be edited by Grok and mitigate NCII production beyond paywalling.
