Irish Privacy Watchdog Investigates X

The watchdog believes it wrongly used personal data to train its AI chatbot

Ireland's data privacy watchdog said Friday it is investigating Elon Musk's social media platform X over its use of personal data to train his artificial intelligence chatbot Grok.

The Data Protection Commission (DPC) said it has opened an inquiry into "the processing of personal data comprised in publicly-accessible posts" European users posted on X.

"The purpose of this inquiry is to determine whether this personal data was lawfully processed in order to train the Grok LLMs" under the bloc's data privacy law, the commission said in a statement posted online.
