Ireland Takes On Musk's Grok Over AI Deepfake Scandal
The Irish Data Protection Commission has launched a significant investigation into Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, developed by xAI and integrated with X (formerly Twitter), over the generation of non-consensual, sexualized deepfake images. This inquiry, sparked by reports of harmful image creation such as 'undressing' women and involving minors, examines X's compliance with GDPR, potentially leading to fines of up to 4% of global annual revenue. With X's European HQ located in Dublin, and the spotlight on Musk's influence, this scrutiny aligns with wider regulatory actions across Europe, the UK, and the US against AI misuse.
