Irish DPC Takes Elon Musk's X to Court Over AI Data Concerns

Aug 7, 2024, 10:04 AM

The Data Protection Commission (DPC) of Ireland has initiated High Court proceedings against Twitter International Unlimited Company, now known as X, over concerns regarding the processing of personal data of millions of European users. The legal action is centered on allegations that Elon Musk's X has been using personal data without consent to train its AI models, including the AI chatbot Grok. X has contested the order, describing it as 'unwarranted' and 'overbroad,' and argues that it could impact its operations in the EU. The DPC's move reflects growing scrutiny over data privacy practices, particularly in the context of AI development.
