It seems AI is getting a bit of heat form the European union.




"Europe’s privacy watchdog launches ‘large-scale’ probe into Elon Musk’s X"

"London —

The European Union’s data privacy watchdog has launched an investigation into Elon Musk’s X over sexualized images generated by the social media site’s AI chatbot, Grok.

The move adds to mounting regulatory pressure on X, which is also facing probes in France and the United Kingdom after thousands of sexualised deepfake images — mainly of women, but also children — were generated using Grok last month, prompting a global backlash.

Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC), which is chiefly responsible for enforcing the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), said in a statement Tuesday that it has opened a “large-scale” inquiry into X concerning these images.

In particular, the commission will be looking into whether X complied with the EU’s flagship data privacy rules in the way that it handled the personal data of the bloc’s citizens. "
