BreakingNews.ie reports that Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) has opened an investigation into X’s Grok AI tool over concerns it may be violating GDPR principles. The tool, which uses AI to summarize or generate content from user inputs, is suspected of collecting and processing data without adequate transparency or user consent.

Regulators are particularly concerned about how Grok handles personal and potentially sensitive data, and whether it adheres to accountability and fairness obligations under EU law. The probe is one of several recent actions targeting high-profile AI deployments.

Depending on the findings, X could face enforcement actions or be required to alter Grok’s operation to align with EU data protection standards.
