X faces legal action in EU for processing user data to train its AI chatbot Grok

Elon Musk’s X is being prosecuted by EU regulators after it trained its AI models using posts and other data belonging to account holders without obtaining their consent.

The decision by Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) to initiate legal proceedings against X comes following reports that all the users on the platform were automatically signed up to allow their data to be processed to train the AI chatbot ‘Grok’.
