UK MP Sues Elon Musk's AI Company Over Fake Sexual Images

Labour MP Jess Asato filed the first major lawsuit by a serving British parliamentarian against xAI in January 2026 after the company's Grok system created non-consensual sexual images of her. The case raises a critical legal question: who is responsible when AI tools generate harmful deepfakes? UK courts have never ruled on this, and a government ban may follow.
