Elon Musk's social media platform X is facing scrutiny from the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) for allegedly using publicly accessible posts from EU users to train its AI chatbot, Grok. The inquiry aims to evaluate XIUC's compliance with GDPR regulations following its rebranding from Twitter International Unlimited Company. Users were initially opted in by default for data usage, raising privacy concerns. This investigation comes on the heels of X's acquisition by xAI, which deepens the connection between user data and AI model training, boosting the focus on lawful data processing practices.
"The inquiry will assess if the publicly accessible posts from EU users were processed lawfully by XIUC to train the Grok AI models."
"Privacy concerns arise as EU users were opted in by default for their data to be used in AI training, sparking scrutiny under GDPR regulations."
