After raids in France and UK probe, Ireland privacy watchdog to investigate Elon Musk’s X

The legal pressure on Elon Musk’s X, is mounting as Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) has launched a “large-scale” investigation into the social media company, focusing on how its AI chatbot, Grok, handles sensitive user data to generate non-consensual sexual photos. The latest action against the company follows a series of high-profile raids and investigations across France and the UK, respectively. Both countries have previously warned xAI Grok to create harmful photos of real people, including children.

“The DPC has been engaging with X since reports emerged of users prompting Grok to generate sexualized images of real people,” said Graham Doyle, DPC Deputy Commissioner, as per a report in The Financial Times.
