Imagine opening your phone to find a horrific video showing you about to be brutally raped… and it was going viral. That’s exactly what happened to UK Member of Parliament Jess Asato and to millions like her around the world. And it’s why Jess is taking Elon Musk to court for his deepfake AI tool that arms abusers to make these videos. This is a David v Goliath moment -- Jess needs our help to stop AI abuse: Imagine going online and finding an ultra-realistic, fake video of you drugged and about to be gang-raped -- and it’s already been seen by millions of people. It sounds insane, like a piece of bad fiction. But that’s exactly what happened to UK Member of Parliament Jess Asato. And this kind of abuse is happening to millions of others -- including many children. Elon Musk has given abusers the gift of a lifetime -- an AI tool that makes it easy to create and spread sexual assault videos with almost no checks. That’s how they made the video of Jess and it’s why she is taking Musk to court!! If Jess wins, it would force tech giants like Musk to take responsibility and build real safeguards. Right now, Jess is all alone against Musk, his team of lawyers and an army of cyberbullies, and she is about to go to court. She is out on a limb pushing for protections we all need. If you want Jess to stop AI abuse, sign now to tell her the world is with her and to help share her real story far and wide:

Dear Avaaz members,

Imagine going online and finding an ultra-realistic, fake video of you drugged and about to be gang-raped -- and it’s already been seen by millions of people.
It sounds insane, like a piece of bad fiction.
But that’s exactly what happened to UK Member of Parliament Jess Asato. And this kind of abuse is happening to millions of others -- including many children.
Elon Musk has given abusers the gift of a lifetime -- an AI tool that makes it easy to create and spread sexual assault videos with almost no checks. That’s how they made the video of Jess and it’s why she is taking Musk to court!!
If Jess wins, it would force tech giants like Musk to take responsibility and build real safeguards.
Right now, Jess is all alone against Musk, his team of lawyers and an army of cyberbullies, and she is about to go to court.
She is out on a limb pushing for protections we all need.
If you want Jess to stop AI abuse, sign now to tell her the world is with her and to help share her real story far and wide:

What Jess endured is just the tip of a terrifying iceberg. When Elon Musk released his crazy AI image tool Grok, it generated an estimated 3 million sexualised images, including 23,000 images of children, in just eleven days.
Grok is out of control. When users prompted it to show Jess being chloroformed and surrounded by men, Grok chose on its own to add the terrifying detail of them lifting her skirt.
One of the only concessions to safety that Musk's team has made is to put access to Grok's image generation behind a paywall, meaning they profit even more from this abuse.
Right now, AI tools like Grok are the weapon of choice for thugs and trolls to terrorise women like Jess -- to drive them out of politics, leadership, and the public square. But Jess is not backing down.
She is fighting on two fronts: taking Musk's company xAI to court for violating her rights, and trying to close the loophole in UK law that leaves women and girls exposed to this abuse.
A victory in the UK would help hold powerful tech companies accountable and secure stronger protections for millions worldwide.
Join now to help share Jess’s real story far and wide, and tell her the world is behind her. We will deliver the message directly to Jess.

Together, we can help Jess turn this trial into a historic turning point to stop AI abuse -- a moment citizens take back control and finally hold Big Tech accountable.
With hope and determination,
Mélanie, Sarah, Nate, Pascal, Nell and the whole Avaaz team
