Ireland Probes Xs Data Use for AI Training - Ireland's Data Protection Commission is investigating X, formerly Twitter, for using European user data to train Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok. The inquiry examines X's processing of personal data from publicly accessible posts without user consent, questioning compliance with EU GDPR rules.
In 2024, Musk's AI firm, xAI, controversially acquired X and began using its data. The DPC has previously fined tech companies like Microsoft, TikTok, and Meta, suggesting possible significant penalties for Musk's ventures.
