EU Investigates X for Using Personal Data to Train AI

The EU has launched an investigation into X (formerly Twitter) over the use of personal data from EU and EEA users to train its AI models, including Grok.

The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC), acting on behalf of the EU, will examine whether X’s practices comply with key GDPR provisions, especially regarding legality and transparency.

This follows X’s commitment in September to stop using certain EU user data for AI training. However, the company continued AI model development after that period.

With X’s European headquarters in Ireland, the DPC has jurisdiction to investigate, highlighting growing scrutiny of tech giants and AI compliance in Europe.
