This is a product that has been developed without any concern for the social harms it might create. This is a product for profit.

And there ought to be, I think, a real understanding that people cannot make money off the back of harm to women and children.

More than 150,000 people have now backed the petition because they know terrestrial tv is part of daily life in millions of homes.

And what we are seeing is women standing up and saying ‘we have had enough, we are not going to let this stand’.

She said the support she had received had been “astonishing” and “very heartwarming”.

I feel like this is almost a watershed moment. We have known that for many years women have faced this growing tsunami of online misogyny... that Grok managed to create on a mass level.

There were guardrails that the engineers and Elon Musk could have put in place to stop Grok from being able to create sexualised images but they decided not to put those guardrails in place.

Elon Musk knew that Grok didn't have these safeguards. There had been warnings ever since Grok was created last year that it could be exploited and that users could use it to generate potentially criminal material, but he did not care.

I think there need to be guardrails to protect women and children from harm and I know that Silicon Valley says that they want to go fast and break things, but just like any product, if it causes harm, there need to be routes for ordinary…

I hope my case will also open up a debate about 'what consent means in the online space'.

Me going public is so that we can invite people who may have been victims of AI photo manipulation on Grok to come forward and to seek legal help … to give people a sort of sense that they’re not alone when this happens.

Nobody would be able to walk up to me in the street and strip me and put me in a bikini, and I don’t see why anybody should be able to do that to me online, because the feeling, while it is not quite the same, is very similar.

It is like somebody has digitally stripped me without my consent.

If you think about any other products, like a car, for example, that might have been manufactured with a fault, it doesn’t matter if, you know, the cars get recalled and the faults are fixed and no more harm is done.

I guess that’s the centre of my case, is to say that it doesn’t matter how quickly things were then repaired. Once the damage is done, the damage is done.

We want to show that tech companies cannot act without impunity, they need to build safeguards into their products so that people's images cannot by used or manipulated by AI, to sexualise them without their consent.

It matters that the car was produced with the fault in the first place, and that's the problem with Grok, is that it was created without the safeguards and without the guardrails to prevent this from happening in the first place.

These pictures and videos should have never been able to be created in the first place and that's the essence of my case, which is that the tools that are being designed by AI developers like xAI are being designed without the right…

I am filing a legal claim and taking legal action against xAI, which is Elon Musk's company, which owns and designed Grok, an AI chatbot tool, because people used Grok earlier this year to take images of me from the internet without my…
