Grok disclosed adult performer's legal name and birthdate, reportedly enabling doxxing
Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot, reportedly revealed adult performer Siri Dahl's legal name and birthdate to users. Dahl stated she had paid for data removal services to keep this information private and alleged that Grok's disclosure enabled her doxxing and subsequent proliferation of her personal information by other AI systems.
What happened
Grok, an AI chatbot developed by xAI and owned by Elon Musk, revealed adult performer Siri Dahl's legal name and birthdate to users. Dahl had paid thousands of dollars for data removal services to keep this information private.
Reported impact
Dahl alleged that Grok's disclosure enabled her doxxing and the subsequent proliferation of her personal information across the internet by other AI scrapers, making the information impossible to make private again.
Index analysis
The incident reflects a broader pattern of Grok's problematic outputs, as the system has previously been reported to produce nonconsensual sexual images of women and girls, praise Hitler, spread misinformation, and generate sycophantic praise towards Musk.
Governance controls
Grok responded to Dahl's complaint by stating that her legal name and birthdate were already public on the internet, a claim Dahl disputed.
