xAI forced employees to give biometric data for a sexual AI bot, sparking privacy and consent concerns.
Employees at Elon Musk’s AI company xAI were required to provide biometric data, including facial and voice information, to train a sexually suggestive AI chatbot named Ani, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The bot, accessible via X’s Grok chat, features an anime-style avatar and engages in explicit interactions.
Staff were told participation was mandatory, with no opt-out, and signed releases granting xAI indefinite global rights to their likenesses.
Some employees expressed discomfort over the project’s sexualized nature and potential misuse of data.
The initiative, linked to a confidential project called “Project Skippy,” has raised concerns about consent, privacy, and ethical AI development.
